  2. Taylor microscale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_microscale

    The Taylor microscale falls in between the large-scale eddies and the small-scale eddies, which can be seen by calculating the ratios between and the Kolmogorov microscale . Given the length scale of the larger eddies l ∝ k 3 / 2 ϵ {\displaystyle l\propto {\frac {k^{3/2}}{\epsilon }}} , and the turbulence Reynolds number Re l {\displaystyle ...

    Original Films Of Frank B. Gilbreth (Part I) A time and motion study (or time-motion study) is a business efficiency technique combining the Time Study work of Frederick Winslow Taylor with the Motion Study work of Frank and Lillian Gilbreth (the same couple as is best known through the biographical 1950 film and book Cheaper by the Dozen).

    The company was formed in June 2000 when the U.S.-based weighing company Weigh-Tronix acquired the Avery Berkel group of companies. Avery Berkel was the result of the merger between GEC Avery (formally W & T Avery) and Berkel.

  6. Taylor–Green vortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor–Green_vortex

    2D Contour Plot of Taylor Green Vortex. In fluid dynamics, the Taylor–Green vortex is an unsteady flow of a decaying vortex, which has an exact closed form solution of the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in Cartesian coordinates. It is named after the British physicist and mathematician Geoffrey Ingram Taylor and his collaborator A ...

  7. Integral length scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integral_length_scale

    The integral length scale measures the correlation distance of a process in terms of space or time. [1] In essence, it looks at the overall memory of the process and how it is influenced by previous positions and parameters .

  8. Taylor knock-out factor - Wikipedia

    The Taylor knock-out factor, also called Taylor KO factor or TKOF, is a formulaic mathematical approach for evaluating the stopping power of hunting cartridges, ...

  9. Beta plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_plane

    In geophysical fluid dynamics, an approximation whereby the Coriolis parameter, f, is set to vary linearly in space is called a beta plane approximation.. On a rotating sphere such as the Earth, f varies with the sine of latitude; in the so-called f-plane approximation, this variation is ignored, and a value of f appropriate for a particular latitude is used throughout the domain.
