A minute of arc, arcminute (arcmin), arc minute, or minute arc, denoted by the symbol ′, is a unit of angular measurement equal to 1 / 60 of one degree. [1] Since one degree is 1 / 360 of a turn, or complete rotation, one arcminute is 1 / 21 600 of a turn.
[2] In experimental fluid dynamics, the Stokes number is a measure of flow tracer fidelity in particle image velocimetry (PIV) experiments where very small particles are entrained in turbulent flows and optically observed to determine the speed and direction of fluid movement (also known as the velocity field of the fluid). For acceptable ...
A milliradian (SI-symbol mrad, sometimes also abbreviated mil) is an SI derived unit for angular measurement which is defined as a thousandth of a radian (0.001 radian). ). Milliradians are used in adjustment of firearm sights by adjusting the angle of the sight compared to the barrel (up, down, left, or
The correct branch of the multiple valued function arctan x to use is the one that makes ν a continuous function of E(M) starting from ν E=0 = 0. Thus for 0 ≤ E < π use arctan x = arctan x, and for π < E ≤ 2π use arctan x = arctan x + π. At the specific value E = π for which the argument of tan is infinite, use ν = E.
L: a single digit representing the theoretical optimal lift coefficient at ideal angle of attack C LI = 0.15 L (this is not the same as the lift coefficient C L), P: a single digit for the x coordinate of the point of maximum camber (max. camber at x = 0.05 P), S: a single digit indicating whether the camber is simple (S = 0) or reflex (S = 1),
Here Z F is the acoustic impedance of the film (Z F = ρ F c F = (ρ F G f) 1/2)= (ρ F /J f) 1/2), k F is the wave vector and d F is the film thickness. J f is the film's viscoelastic compliance, ρ F is the density. The poles of the tangent (k F d F = π/2) define the film resonances. [55] [56] At the film resonance, one has d F = λ/4. The ...
In air, which has a kinematic viscosity around 0.15 cm 2 /s, this means that the product of object speed and diameter must be more than about 0.015 m 2 /s. Unfortunately, the equations of motion can not be easily solved analytically for this case. Therefore, a numerical solution will be examined. The following assumptions are made:
Setting a 2 = 2m − 3 makes the variance equal to unity. Then the only free parameter is m , which controls the fourth moment (and cumulant) and hence the kurtosis. One can reparameterize with m = 5 / 2 + 3 / γ 2 {\displaystyle m=5/2+3/\gamma _{2}} , where γ 2 {\displaystyle \gamma _{2}} is the excess kurtosis as defined above.
