  2. Hodograph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hodograph

    A hodograph is a diagram that gives a vectorial visual representation of the movement of a body or a fluid. It is the locus of one end of a variable vector, with the other end fixed. [ 1 ] The position of any plotted data on such a diagram is proportional to the velocity of the moving particle. [ 2 ]

  3. Shock polar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_polar

    Shock polar in the pressure ratio-flow deflection angle plane for a Mach number of 1.8 and a specific heat ratio 1.4. The minimum angle, , which an oblique shock can have is the Mach angle = ⁡ (/), where is the initial Mach number before the shock and the greatest angle corresponds to a normal shock.

  4. William Rowan Hamilton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Rowan_Hamilton

    There is Hamilton's paper on fluctuating functions in Fourier analysis, and the invention of the hodograph. Of his investigations into the solutions, especially by numerical approximation , of certain classes of physically-important differential equations, only parts were published, at intervals, in the Philosophical Magazine .

  5. Tornado outbreak of March 13–15, 2024 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado_outbreak_of_March...

    In this area, convective available potential energy (CAPE) values reached 2,500–3,000 J/kg, favorable wind shear was present, and elongated, curved hodograph values were expected, allowing any mature supercell to rotate. During the early morning hours of March 14, the system produced severe weather across areas of Kansas to Ohio.

    the coldest airmass since 1996 continues to move southeast out of canada and into minnesota and wisconsin. wind chill values will range between 30 and 45 below today and continue to fall through monday morning. air temperatures tonight will drop into the 20s and 30s below zero.

  7. Laplace–Runge–Lenz vector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laplace–Runge–Lenz_vector

    On the momentum hodograph in the relevant section above, B is readily seen to connect the origin of momenta with the center of the circular hodograph, and to possess magnitude A/L. At perihelion, it points in the direction of the momentum. The vector B is denoted as "binormal" since it is perpendicular to both A and L. Similar to the LRL vector ...

  8. Multicellular thunderstorm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicellular_thunderstorm

    The typical hodograph, plot of the wind versus altitude, associated with it shows a linear wind shear with altitude [3] The moderate vertical wind shear leads to the development of a non-symmetric surface convergence associated with the thunderstorm outflow, with the strongest convergence taking place on the downwind side from the storm's ...
