  2. Self-similar solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-similar_solution

    The normal self-similar solution is also referred to as a self-similar solution of the first kind, since another type of self-similar exists for finite-sized problems, which cannot be derived from dimensional analysis, known as a self-similar solution of the second kind.

  3. Self-similarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-similarity

    Standard (trivial) self-similarity [1] In mathematics, a self-similar object is exactly or approximately similar to a part of itself (i.e., the whole has the same shape as one or more of the parts). Many objects in the real world, such as coastlines, are statistically self-similar: parts of them show the same statistical properties at many ...

  4. Self-similar process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-similar_process

    Self-similar processes are stochastic processes satisfying a mathematically precise version of the self-similarity property. Several related properties have this name, and some are defined here. A self-similar phenomenon behaves the same when viewed at different degrees of magnification, or different scales on a dimension.

  5. Chaos theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory

    The double-rod pendulum is one of the simplest dynamical systems with chaotic solutions. Chaos theory (or chaology [1]) is an interdisciplinary area of scientific study and branch of mathematics. It focuses on underlying patterns and deterministic laws of dynamical systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions.

  6. Fractal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal

    Self-similarity, which may include: Exact self-similarity: identical at all scales, such as the Koch snowflake; Quasi self-similarity: approximates the same pattern at different scales; may contain small copies of the entire fractal in distorted and degenerate forms; e.g., the Mandelbrot set's satellites are approximations of the entire set ...

  7. Similarity (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Similarity_(geometry)

    A self-similar subset of a metric space (X, d) is a set K for which there exists a finite set of similitudes { f s} s∈S with contraction factors 0 ≤ r s < 1 such that K is the unique compact subset of X for which A self-similar set constructed with two similitudes: ′ = [(+) +] ′ = [(+) +] =.

  8. Blasius boundary layer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blasius_boundary_layer

    The self-similar solution exists because the equations and the boundary conditions are invariant under the transformation ,,, where is any positive constant. He introduced the self-similar variables Developing Blasius boundary layer (not to scale). The velocity profile ′ is shown in red at selected positions along the plate.

  9. Logarithmic spiral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_spiral

    To adjust for this variation of kerf, the self-similar property of the logarithmic spiral has been used to design a kerf cancelling mechanism for laser cutters. [18] Logarithmic spiral bevel gears are a type of spiral bevel gear whose gear tooth centerline is a logarithmic spiral. A logarithmic spiral has the advantage of providing equal angles ...
