  2. Hard spheres - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_spheres

    Beside being a model of theoretical significance, the hard-sphere system is used as a basis in the formulation of several modern, predictive Equations of State for real fluids through the SAFT approach, and models for transport properties in gases through Chapman-Enskog Theory.

  3. Nebular hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebular_hypothesis

    The widely accepted modern variant of the nebular theory is the solar nebular disk model (SNDM) or solar nebular model. [1] It offered explanations for a variety of properties of the Solar System, including the nearly circular and coplanar orbits of the planets, and their motion in the same direction as the Sun's rotation.

  4. Ball (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, a ball is the solid figure bounded by a sphere; it is also called a solid sphere. [1] It may be a closed ball (including the boundary points that constitute the sphere) or an open ball (excluding them).

  5. Contact mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_mechanics

    Contact between a sphere and an elastic half-space and one-dimensional replaced model Some contact problems can be solved with the method of dimensionality reduction (MDR). In this method, the initial three-dimensional system is replaced with a contact of a body with a linear elastic or viscoelastic foundation (see fig.).

  6. Solid geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_geometry

    A solid figure is the region of 3D space bounded by a two-dimensional closed surface; for example, a solid ball consists of a sphere and its interior. Solid geometry deals with the measurements of volumes of various solids, including pyramids , prisms (and other polyhedrons ), cubes , cylinders , cones (and truncated cones ).

  7. Sphere packing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphere_packing

    Sphere packing finds practical application in the stacking of cannonballs. In geometry , a sphere packing is an arrangement of non-overlapping spheres within a containing space. The spheres considered are usually all of identical size, and the space is usually three- dimensional Euclidean space .

  8. Lattice model (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_model_(physics)

    An example of a continuum theory that is widely studied by lattice models is the QCD lattice model, a discretization of quantum chromodynamics. However, digital physics considers nature fundamentally discrete at the Planck scale, which imposes upper limit to the density of information , aka Holographic principle .

  9. Plum pudding model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plum_pudding_model

    Thomson's model marks the moment when the development of atomic theory passed from chemists to physicists. While atomic theory was widely accepted by chemists by the end of the 19th century, physicists remained skeptical because the atomic model lacked any properties which concerned their field, such as electric charge, magnetic moment, volume, or absolute mass.
