  2. Discontinuous gas exchange - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discontinuous_gas_exchange

    During the flutter phase of discontinuous gas exchange cycles, spiracles open slightly and close in rapid succession. [2] As a result of the negative pressure within the tracheal system, created during the closed phase, a small amount of air from the environment enters the respiratory system each time the spiracles are opened.

  3. Three-dimensional losses and correlation in turbomachinery

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-dimensional_losses...

    In calculating three-dimensional losses, every element affecting a flow path is taken into account—such as axial spacing between vane and blade rows, end-wall curvature, radial distribution of pressure gradient, hup/tip ratio, dihedral, lean, tip clearance, flare, aspect ratio, skew, sweep, platform cooling holes, surface roughness, and off ...

    is the angular frequency of the first harmonic of a Fourier series of an oscillatory pressure gradient, n: are the natural numbers, P' n: is the pressure gradient magnitude for the frequency nω, ρ: is the fluid density, μ: is the dynamic viscosity, R: is the pipe radius, J 0 (·) is the Bessel function of first kind and order zero, i: is the ...

  5. Color gradient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_gradient

    A linear, or axial, color gradient. In color science, a color gradient (also known as a color ramp or a color progression) specifies a range of position-dependent colors, usually used to fill a region. In assigning colors to a set of values, a gradient is a continuous colormap, a type of color scheme.

  6. Perlin noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perlin_noise

    Two-dimensional slice through 3D Perlin noise at z = 0. Perlin noise is a type of gradient noise developed by Ken Perlin in 1983. It has many uses, including but not limited to: procedurally generating terrain, applying pseudo-random changes to a variable, and assisting in the creation of image textures.

  7. Grade (slope) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_(slope)

    The grade (US) or gradient (UK) (also called stepth, slope, incline, mainfall, pitch or rise) of a physical feature, landform or constructed line is either the elevation angle of that surface to the horizontal or its tangent. It is a special case of the slope, where zero indicates horizontality. A larger number indicates higher or steeper ...

  9. Baroclinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baroclinity

    In fluid dynamics, the baroclinity (often called baroclinicity) of a stratified fluid is a measure of how misaligned the gradient of pressure is from the gradient of density in a fluid. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] In meteorology a baroclinic flow is one in which the density depends on both temperature and pressure (the fully general case).
