  2. Scale analysis (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Scale analysis anticipates within a factor of order one when done properly, the expensive results produced by exact analyses. Scale analysis rules as follows: Rule1-First step in scale analysis is to define the domain of extent in which we apply scale analysis. Any scale analysis of a flow region that is not uniquely defined is not valid.

  3. Non-dimensionalization and scaling of the Navier–Stokes ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-dimensionalization_and...

    Scaling of equation can be done, in a flow where inertia term is smaller than the viscous term i.e. when Re → 0 then inertia terms can be neglected, leaving the equation of a creeping motion. R e ∂ u ∗ ∂ t ∗ = − ∇ ∗ p ∗ + ∇ ∗ 2 u ∗ . {\displaystyle Re{\frac {\partial \mathbf {u^{*}} }{\partial t^{*}}}=-\nabla ^{*}p ...

  4. Lagrangian and Eulerian specification of the flow field

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrangian_and_Eulerian...

    The Eulerian specification of the flow field is a way of looking at fluid motion that focuses on specific locations in the space through which the fluid flows as time passes. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] This can be visualized by sitting on the bank of a river and watching the water pass the fixed location.

  5. Renormalization group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renormalization_group

    A change in scale is called a scale transformation. The renormalization group is intimately related to scale invariance and conformal invariance, symmetries in which a system appears the same at all scales (self-similarity), [a] where under the fixed point of the renormalization group flow the field theory is conformally invariant.

  6. Size effect on structural strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Size_Effect_on_Structural...

    For most normal-scale applications to metals and fine-grained ceramics, except for micrometer scale devices, the size is large enough for the Weibull theory to apply (but not for coarse-grained materials such as concrete). From Eq. 2 one can show that the mean strength and the coefficient of variation of strength are obtained as follows:

  7. Stress–strain analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress–strain_analysis

    Stress–strain analysis (or stress analysis) is an engineering discipline that uses many methods to determine the stresses and strains in materials and structures subjected to forces. In continuum mechanics , stress is a physical quantity that expresses the internal forces that neighboring particles of a continuous material exert on each other ...

  8. Production flow analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Production_flow_analysis

    In operations management and industrial engineering, production flow analysis refers to methods which share the following characteristics: Classification of machines; Technological cycles information control; Generating a binary product-machines matrix (1 if a given product requires processing in a given machine, 0 otherwise)

  9. Factor of safety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factor_of_safety

    In engineering, a factor of safety (FoS) or safety factor (SF) expresses how much stronger a system is than it needs to be for an intended load.Safety factors are often calculated using detailed analysis because comprehensive testing is impractical on many projects, such as bridges and buildings, but the structure's ability to carry a load must be determined to a reasonable accuracy.
