  2. Infrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrasound

    One of his experiments was an infrasonic whistle, an oversized organ pipe. [3] [4] [5] As a result of this and similar incidents, it has become routine in new architecture construction to inspect for and eliminate any infrasonic resonances in cavities and the introduction of sound-proofing and materials with specialized sonic properties.

  3. Mach number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mach_number

    The subsonic speed range is that range of speeds within which, all of the airflow over an aircraft is less than Mach 1. The critical Mach number (Mcrit) is lowest free stream Mach number at which airflow over any part of the aircraft first reaches Mach 1. So the subsonic speed range includes all speeds that are less than Mcrit. Transonic: 0.8–1.2

  4. Infrasonic passive differential spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrasonic_passive...

    Infrasonic passive seismic spectroscopy (IPSS) is a passive seismic low frequency technique used for mapping potential oil and gas hydrocarbon accumulations.. It is part of the geophysical techniques also known under the generic naming passive seismic which includes also passive seismic tomography and micro seismic monitoring for petroleum, gas, and geothermal applications.

  5. Rayleigh flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_flow

    However, due to the form of the T/T* equation, a complicated multi-root relation is formed for M = M(T/T*). Instead, M can be chosen as an independent variable where ΔS and H can be matched up in a chart as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 shows that heating will increase an upstream, subsonic Mach number until M = 1.0 and the flow chokes.

  6. Fanno flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanno_flow

    This means that a subsonic flow entering a duct with friction will have an increase in its Mach number until the flow is choked. Conversely, the Mach number of a supersonic flow will decrease until the flow is choked. Each point on the Fanno line corresponds with a different Mach number, and the movement to choked flow is shown in the diagram.

  7. Load path analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_path_analysis

    [1] The U* index theory has been validated through two different physical experiments. [3] Since the U* index predicts the load paths based on the structural stiffness, it is not affected by the stress concentration problems. The load transfer analysis using the U* index is a new design paradigm for vehicle structural design.

  8. Spectral index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_index

    In astronomy, the spectral index of a source is a measure of the dependence of radiative flux density (that is, radiative flux per unit of frequency) on frequency. Given frequency ν {\displaystyle \nu } in Hz and radiative flux density S ν {\displaystyle S_{\nu }} in Jy, the spectral index α {\displaystyle \alpha } is given implicitly by S ...

  9. Subsonic ammunition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsonic_ammunition

    Subsonic ammunitions are ammunitions designed to operate at velocities below the speed of sound (Mach 1), which at standard conditions is 340.29 m/s (1,116.4 ft/s). This avoids the supersonic shockwave or "crack" of a supersonic bullet, which, particularly for suppressed firearms, influences the loudness of the shot.
