  2. Thermionic emission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermionic_emission

    Considerable confusion exists in the literature of this area because: (1) many sources do not distinguish between A G and A 0, but just use the symbol A (and sometimes the name "Richardson constant") indiscriminately; (2) equations with and without the correction factor here denoted by λ R are both given the same name; and (3) a variety of ...

  3. Richards equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richards_equation

    The Richards equation represents the movement of water in unsaturated soils, and is attributed to Lorenzo A. Richards who published the equation in 1931. [1] It is a quasilinear partial differential equation ; its analytical solution is often limited to specific initial and boundary conditions. [ 2 ]

  4. Richardson number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richardson_Number

    In oceanography, the Richardson number has a more general form [citation needed] which takes stratification into account. It is a measure of relative importance of mechanical and density effects in the water column, as described by the Taylor–Goldstein equation, used to model Kelvin–Helmholtz instability which is driven by sheared flows.

  5. Modified Richardson iteration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modified_Richardson_iteration

    Modified Richardson iteration is an iterative method for solving a system of linear equations. Richardson iteration was proposed by Lewis Fry Richardson in his work dated 1910. It is similar to the Jacobi and Gauss–Seidel method. We seek the solution to a set of linear equations, expressed in matrix terms as =.

  6. Richardson extrapolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richardson_extrapolation

    In numerical analysis, Richardson extrapolation is a sequence acceleration method used to improve the rate of convergence of a sequence of estimates of some value = (). In essence, given the value of A ( h ) {\displaystyle A(h)} for several values of h {\displaystyle h} , we can estimate A ∗ {\displaystyle A^{\ast }} by extrapolating the ...

  7. Lewis Fry Richardson - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_Fry_Richardson

    Lewis Fry Richardson, FRS [1] (11 October 1881 – 30 September 1953) was an English mathematician, physicist, meteorologist, psychologist, and pacifist who pioneered modern mathematical techniques of weather forecasting, and the application of similar techniques to studying the causes of wars and how to prevent them.

  8. Bulk Richardson number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulk_Richardson_number

    The Bulk Richardson Number (BRN) is an approximation of the Gradient Richardson number. [1] The BRN is a dimensionless ratio in meteorology related to the consumption of turbulence divided by the shear production (the generation of turbulence kinetic energy caused by wind shear) of turbulence.

  9. Schottky effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schottky_effect

    In this regime, the combined effects of field-enhanced thermionic and field emission can be modeled by the Murphy–Good equation for thermo-field (T-F) emission. [3] At even higher fields, FN tunneling becomes the dominant electron emission mechanism, and the emitter operates in the so-called "cold field electron emission (CFE)" regime.
