  2. Vortex-induced vibration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex-induced_vibration

    Vortex-induced vibration (VIV) is an important source of fatigue damage of offshore oil exploration drilling, export, production risers, including steel catenary risers (SCRs) and tension leg platform (TLP) tendons or tethers. These slender structures experience both current flow and top-end vessel motions, which both give rise to the flow ...

  3. Scruton number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scruton_number

    The Scruton number (Sc) is an important parameter for vortex-induced vibration (excitation) of structures, vibrations caused by rain or wind, dry inclined cable galloping, and wake galloping, the unstable airflow that forms around bridge cables and other cylindrically-structured buildings. [1]

  4. Magnetic skyrmion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_skyrmion

    where p describes the magnetisation direction in the origin (p=1 (−1) for (=) = ()) and W is the winding number. Considering the same uniform magnetisation, i.e. the same p value, the winding number allows to define the skyrmion (()) with a positive winding number and the antiskyrmion (()) with a negative winding number and thus a topological charge opposite to the one of the skyrmion.

  5. List of electromagnetism equations - Wikipedia

    Continuous charge distribution. The volume charge density ρ is the amount of charge per unit volume (cube), surface charge density σ is amount per unit surface area (circle) with outward unit normal nĚ‚, d is the dipole moment between two point charges, the volume density of these is the polarization density P.

  6. Vorticity equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorticity_equation

    The vorticity equation of fluid dynamics describes the evolution of the vorticity ω of a particle of a fluid as it moves with its flow; that is, the local rotation of the fluid (in terms of vector calculus this is the curl of the flow velocity). The governing equation is:

  7. Vortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex

    Exact solutions to classical nonlinear magnetic equations include the Landau–Lifshitz equation, the continuum Heisenberg model, the Ishimori equation, and the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Vortex rings are torus-shaped vortices where the axis of rotation is a continuous closed curve. Smoke rings and bubble rings are two well-known examples.

  8. Vorticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorticity

    A vortex tube is the surface in the continuum formed by all vortex lines passing through a given (reducible) closed curve in the continuum. The 'strength' of a vortex tube (also called vortex flux ) [ 11 ] is the integral of the vorticity across a cross-section of the tube, and is the same everywhere along the tube (because vorticity has zero ...

  9. Biot–Savart law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biot–Savart_law

    In two dimensions, for a vortex line of infinite length, the induced velocity at a point is given by = where Γ is the strength of the vortex and r is the perpendicular distance between the point and the vortex line. This is similar to the magnetic field produced on a plane by an infinitely long straight thin wire normal to the plane.
