  2. Helicity (particle physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicity_(particle_physics)

    The helicity of a particle is positive (" right-handed") if the direction of its spin is the same as the direction of its motion and negative ("left-handed") if opposite. Helicity is conserved. [1] That is, the helicity commutes with the Hamiltonian, and thus, in the absence of external forces, is time-invariant. It is also rotationally ...

  3. Magnetic helicity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_helicity

    Magnetic helicity is a gauge-dependent quantity, because can be redefined by adding a gradient to it (gauge choosing).However, for perfectly conducting boundaries or periodic systems without a net magnetic flux, the magnetic helicity contained in the whole domain is gauge invariant, [15] that is, independent of the gauge choice.

  4. Helicity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicity

    Helicity may refer to: Helicity (fluid mechanics) , the extent to which corkscrew-like motion occurs Helicity (particle physics) , the projection of the spin onto the direction of momentum

  5. Vorticity equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorticity_equation

    It describes the rate of change of vorticity of the moving fluid particle. This change can be attributed to unsteadiness in the flow (⁠ ∂ω / ∂t ⁠, the unsteady term) or due to the motion of the fluid particle as it moves from one point to another ((u ∙ ∇)ω, the convection term).

  6. Circulation (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circulation_(physics)

    In fluid dynamics, the lift per unit span (L') acting on a body in a two-dimensional flow field is directly proportional to the circulation, i.e. it can be expressed as the product of the circulation Γ about the body, the fluid density , and the speed of the body relative to the free-stream : ′ =

  7. Zimm–Bragg model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zimm–Bragg_model

    In statistical mechanics, the Zimm–Bragg model is a helix-coil transition model that describes helix-coil transitions of macromolecules, usually polymer chains. Most models provide a reasonable approximation of the fractional helicity of a given polypeptide; the Zimm–Bragg model differs by incorporating the ease of propagation (self-replication) with respect to nucleation.

  8. Maximum potential intensity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_potential_intensity

    At equilibrium, the rate of net energy production in the system must equal the rate of energy loss due to frictional dissipation at the surface, i.e. W i n = W o u t {\displaystyle W_{in}=W_{out}} The rate of energy loss per unit surface area from surface friction, W o u t {\displaystyle W_{out}} , is given by
