  2. Monte Carlo methods for electron transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Carlo_methods_for...

    The Monte Carlo method for electron transport is a semiclassical Monte Carlo (MC) approach of modeling semiconductor transport. Assuming the carrier motion consists of free flights interrupted by scattering mechanisms, a computer is utilized to simulate the trajectories of particles as they move across the device under the influence of an electric field using classical mechanics.

  3. Projectile motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projectile_motion

    This is the equation of a parabola, so the path is parabolic. The axis of the parabola is vertical. If the projectile's position (x,y) and launch angle (θ or α) are known, the initial velocity can be found solving for v 0 in the afore-mentioned parabolic equation:

  4. Trajectory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trajectory

    A trajectory or flight path is the path that an object with mass in motion follows through space as a function of time. In classical mechanics , a trajectory is defined by Hamiltonian mechanics via canonical coordinates ; hence, a complete trajectory is defined by position and momentum , simultaneously.

  5. Phase plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_plane

    With enough of these arrows in place the system behaviour over the regions of plane in analysis can be visualized and limit cycles can be easily identified. The entire field is the phase portrait, a particular path taken along a flow line (i.e. a path always tangent to the vectors) is a phase path. The flows in the vector field indicate the ...

  6. Spacecraft flight dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacecraft_flight_dynamics

    The principles of flight dynamics are used to model a vehicle's powered flight during launch from the Earth; a spacecraft's orbital flight; maneuvers to change orbit; translunar and interplanetary flight; launch from and landing on a celestial body, with or without an atmosphere; entry through the atmosphere of the Earth or other celestial body ...

  7. Parabolic trajectory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_trajectory

    The green path in this image is an example of a parabolic trajectory. A parabolic trajectory is depicted in the bottom-left quadrant of this diagram, where the gravitational potential well of the central mass shows potential energy, and the kinetic energy of the parabolic trajectory is shown in red. The height of the kinetic energy decreases ...

  8. Orbital mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_mechanics

    For near-parabolic orbits, eccentricity is nearly 1, and substituting = into the formula for mean anomaly, ⁡, we find ourselves subtracting two nearly-equal values, and accuracy suffers. For near-circular orbits, it is hard to find the periapsis in the first place (and truly circular orbits have no periapsis at all).

  9. Gravity turn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_turn

    This small steering maneuver is the only time during an ideal gravity turn ascent that thrust must be used for purposes of steering. The pitchover maneuver serves two purposes. First, it turns the rocket slightly so that its flight path is no longer vertical, and second, it places the rocket on the correct heading for its ascent to orbit. After ...
