  2. Net force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_force

    That force is the net force. [1] When forces act upon an object, they change its acceleration. The net force is the combined effect of all the forces on the object's acceleration, as described by Newton's second law of motion. When the net force is applied at a specific point on an object, the associated torque can be calculated.

  3. Navier–Stokes equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navier–Stokes_equations

    The Navier–Stokes equations (/ n æ v ˈ j eɪ s t oʊ k s / nav-YAY STOHKS) are partial differential equations which describe the motion of viscous fluid substances. They were named after French engineer and physicist Claude-Louis Navier and the Irish physicist and mathematician George Gabriel Stokes.

  4. Contact mechanics - Wikipedia

    where is the force (positive in compression), is the total surface energy of both surfaces per unit area, and is the equilibrium separation of the two atomic planes. The Bradley model applied the Lennard-Jones potential to find the force of adhesion between two rigid spheres.

  5. Cone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone

    A right circular cone and an oblique circular cone A double cone (not shown infinitely extended) 3D model of a cone. A cone is a three-dimensional geometric shape that tapers smoothly from a flat base (frequently, though not necessarily, circular) to a point called the apex or vertex that is not contained in the base.

  6. Nose cone design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nose_cone_design

    The equations define the two-dimensional profile of the nose shape. The full body of revolution of the nose cone is formed by rotating the profile around the centerline C ⁄ L. While the equations describe the "perfect" shape, practical nose cones are often blunted or truncated for manufacturing, aerodynamic, or thermodynamic reasons. [2]

  7. Ruled surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruled_surface

    In geometry, a surface S in 3-dimensional Euclidean space is ruled (also called a scroll) if through every point of S, there is a straight line that lies on S. Examples include the plane , the lateral surface of a cylinder or cone , a conical surface with elliptical directrix , the right conoid , the helicoid , and the tangent developable of a ...

  8. Potential flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_flow

    Shock waves at the pointed leading edge of two-dimensional wedge or three-dimensional cone (Taylor–Maccoll flow) has constant intensity. 2) For weak shock waves, the entropy jump across the shock wave is a third-order quantity in terms of shock wave strength and therefore can be neglected. Shock waves in slender bodies lies nearly parallel to ...

  9. Convex cone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_cone

    A subset of a vector space over an ordered field is a cone (or sometimes called a linear cone) if for each in and positive scalar in , the product is in . [2] Note that some authors define cone with the scalar α {\displaystyle \alpha } ranging over all non-negative scalars (rather than all positive scalars, which does not include 0). [ 3 ]
