    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_visualization

    A scientific visualization of a simulation of a Rayleigh–Taylor instability caused by two mixing fluids. [1] Surface rendering of Arabidopsis thaliana pollen grains with confocal microscope. Scientific visualization (also spelled scientific visualisation) is an interdisciplinary branch of science concerned with the visualization of scientific ...

  3. Surface wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_wave

    Surface waves span a wide frequency range, and the period of waves that are most damaging is usually 10 seconds or longer. Surface waves can travel around the globe many times from the largest earthquakes. Surface waves are caused when P waves and S waves come to the surface. Examples are the waves at the surface of water and air (ocean surface ...

  5. Surface wave inversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_wave_inversion

    Surface-wave inversion is the method by which elastic properties, density, and thickness of layers in the subsurface are obtained through analysis of surface-wave dispersion. [2] The entire inversion process requires the gathering of seismic data, the creation of dispersion curves, and finally the inference of subsurface properties.

  6. Dyakonov surface wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyakonov_surface_wave

    The previously known electromagnetic surface waves, surface plasmons and surface plasmon polaritons, exist under the condition that the permittivity of one of the materials forming the interface is negative, while the other one is positive (for example, this is the case for the air/metal interface below the plasma frequency). In contrast, the ...

  7. Computer representation of surfaces - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_representation_of...

    A surface may be composed of one or more patches, where each patch has its own U-V coordinate system. These surface patches are analogous to the multiple polynomial arcs used to build a spline. They allow more complex surfaces to be represented by a series of relatively simple equation sets rather than a single set of complex equations.

  8. Wave surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_surface

    In mathematics, Fresnel's wave surface, found by Augustin-Jean Fresnel in 1822, is a quartic surface describing the propagation of light in an optically biaxial crystal. Wave surfaces are special cases of tetrahedroids which are in turn special cases of Kummer surfaces. In projective coordinates (w:x:y:z) the wave surface is given by

  9. Surface-wave-sustained discharge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface-wave-sustained...

    A surface-wave-sustained discharge is a plasma that is excited by propagation of electromagnetic surface waves. [1] [2] Surface wave plasma sources can be divided into two groups depending upon whether the plasma generates part of its own waveguide by ionisation or not. The former is called a self-guided plasma.
