  2. Boundary-work - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary-work

    Boundary-work is part of science studies. In boundary-work , boundaries, demarcations, or other divisions between fields of knowledge are created, advocated, attacked, or reinforced. Such delineations often have high stakes for the participants, [ 1 ] and carry the implication that such boundaries are flexible and socially constructed .

  3. ∂ - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E2%88%82

    The boundary of a set in topology. The boundary operator on a chain complex in homological algebra. The boundary operator of a differential graded algebra. The conjugate of the Dolbeault operator on complex differential forms. The boundary ∂(S) of a set of vertices S in a graph is the set of edges leaving S, which defines a cut.

  4. Minkowski content - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minkowski_content

    The Minkowski content (named after Hermann Minkowski), or the boundary measure, of a set is a basic concept that uses concepts from geometry and measure theory to generalize the notions of length of a smooth curve in the plane, and area of a smooth surface in space, to arbitrary measurable sets.

  5. Boundary object - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_object

    This concept has since been widely cited and the concept of a boundary object has been adopted in computer science (particularly computer supported cooperative work), information science, [4] and management, particularly when considering cross-disciplinary work and collaboration, [5] either within one organization or with the boundary object helping to focus the efforts of multiple organizations.

  6. Boundary representation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_representation

    In solid modeling and computer-aided design, boundary representation (often abbreviated B-rep or BREP) is a method for representing a 3D shape [1] by defining the limits of its volume. A solid is represented as a collection of connected surface elements, which define the boundary between interior and exterior points.

  7. Boundary layer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_layer

    The boundary layer around a human hand, schlieren photograph. The boundary layer is the bright-green border, most visible on the back of the hand (click for high-res image). In physics and fluid mechanics, a boundary layer is the thin layer of fluid in the immediate vicinity of a bounding surface formed by

  9. Blasius boundary layer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blasius_boundary_layer

    A schematic diagram of the Blasius flow profile. The streamwise velocity component () / is shown, as a function of the similarity variable .. Using scaling arguments, Ludwig Prandtl [1] argued that about half of the terms in the Navier-Stokes equations are negligible in boundary layer flows (except in a small region near the leading edge of the plate).
