  2. Root mean square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_mean_square

    RMS, RMS or rms) of a set of numbers is the square root of the set's mean square. [1] ... This is useful for electrical engineers in calculating the "AC only" RMS of ...

  3. Root mean square deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_mean_square_deviation

    In fluid dynamics, normalized root mean square deviation (NRMSD), coefficient of variation (CV), and percent RMS are used to quantify the uniformity of flow behavior such as velocity profile, temperature distribution, or gas species concentration. The value is compared to industry standards to optimize the design of flow and thermal equipment ...

  4. Mean square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_square

    The square root of a mean square is known as the root mean square (RMS or rms), and can be used as an estimate of the standard deviation of a random variable when the random variable is zero-mean. References

  5. Crest factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crest_factor

    The peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) is the peak amplitude squared (giving the peak power) divided by the RMS value squared (giving the average power). [1] It is the square of the crest factor. When expressed in decibels , crest factor and PAPR are equivalent, due to the way decibels are calculated for power ratios vs amplitude ratios .

  6. True RMS converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_RMS_converter

    True RMS provides a more correct value that is proportional to the square root of the average of the square of the curve, and not to the average of the absolute value. For any given waveform , the ratio of these two averages is constant and, as most measurements are made on what are (nominally) sine waves, the correction factor assumes this ...

  7. Form factor (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Form_factor_(electronics)

    The squaring in RMS and the absolute value in ARV mean that both the values and the form factor are independent of the wave function's sign (and thus, the electrical signal's direction) at any point. For this reason, the form factor is the same for a direction-changing wave with a regular average of 0 and its fully rectified version.

  8. Turbulence kinetic energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbulence_kinetic_energy

    Physically, the turbulence kinetic energy is characterized by measured root-mean-square (RMS) velocity fluctuations. In the Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes equations, the turbulence kinetic energy can be calculated based on the closure method, i.e. a turbulence model.

  9. Charge radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_radius

    The qualification of "rms" (root mean square) arises because it is the nuclear cross-section, proportional to the square of the radius, which is determining for electron scattering. This definition of charge radius is often applied to composite hadrons such as a proton, neutron, pion, or kaon, that are made up of more than one quark.
