2. Surface roughness - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_roughness

   Surface roughness can be regarded as the quality of a surface of not being smooth and it is hence linked to human perception of the surface texture. From a mathematical perspective it is related to the spatial variability structure of surfaces, and inherently it is a multiscale property.

3. Asperity (materials science) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asperity_(materials_science)

   In materials science, asperity, defined as "unevenness of surface, roughness, ruggedness" (from the Latin asper —"rough" [1]), has implications (for example) in physics and seismology. Smooth surfaces, even those polished to a mirror finish, are not truly smooth on a microscopic scale. They are rough, with sharp, rough or rugged projections ...

4. Abrasion (mechanical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abrasion_(mechanical)

   Abrasion (mechanical) Surface roughness resulting from abrasion wear on a spindle. Abrasion is the process of scuffing, scratching, wearing down, marring, or rubbing away. It can be intentionally imposed in a controlled process using an abrasive. Abrasion can be an undesirable effect of exposure to normal use or exposure to the elements.

5. Surface finish - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_finish

   Surface finish. Surface finish, also known as surface texture or surface topography, is the nature of a surface as defined by the three characteristics of lay, surface roughness, and waviness. [1] It comprises the small, local deviations of a surface from the perfectly flat ideal (a true plane). Surface texture is one of the important factors ...

6. Surface metrology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_metrology

   Surface metrology. Surface metrology is the measurement of small-scale features on surfaces, and is a branch of metrology. Surface primary form, surface fractality, and surface finish (including surface roughness) are the parameters most commonly associated with the field. It is important to many disciplines and is mostly known for the ...

7. Moody chart - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moody_chart

   Moody chart. In engineering, the Moody chart or Moody diagram (also Stanton diagram) is a graph in non-dimensional form that relates the Darcy–Weisbach friction factor fD, Reynolds number Re, and surface roughness for fully developed flow in a circular pipe. It can be used to predict pressure drop or flow rate down such a pipe.

8. Surface imperfections (optics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_imperfections_(optics)

   These imperfections are part of the surface and cannot be removed by cleaning. Surface quality is characterized either by the American military standard notation (eg "60-40") or by specifying RMS (root mean square) roughness (eg "0.3 nm RMS"). [1] American notation focuses on how visible surface defects are, and is a "cosmetic" specification.

9. Roughness length - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roughness_length

   The roughness length plays a part in determining the slope of the line. Roughness length ( ) is a parameter of some vertical wind profile equations that model the horizontal mean wind speed near the ground. In the log wind profile, it is equivalent to the height at which the wind speed theoretically becomes zero in the absence of wind-slowing ...
