  2. Rayleigh distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_distribution

    One example where the Rayleigh distribution naturally arises is when wind velocity is analyzed in two dimensions. Assuming that each component is uncorrelated , normally distributed with equal variance , and zero mean , which is infrequent, then the overall wind speed ( vector magnitude) will be characterized by a Rayleigh distribution.

  3. Rayleigh wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_wave

    Examples of electronic devices using Rayleigh waves are filters, resonators, oscillators, sensors of pressure, temperature, humidity, etc. Operation of SAW devices is based on the transformation of the initial electric signal into a surface wave that, after achieving the required changes to the spectrum of the initial electric signal as a ...

  4. Aeroacoustics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeroacoustics

    Aeroacoustics is a branch of acoustics that studies noise generation via either turbulent fluid motion or aerodynamic forces interacting with surfaces. Noise generation can also be associated with periodically varying flows. A notable example of this phenomenon is the Aeolian tones produced by wind blowing over fixed objects.

  5. Rayleigh fading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_fading

    Rayleigh fading is a statistical model for the effect of a propagation environment on a radio signal, such as that used by wireless devices.. Rayleigh fading models assume that the magnitude of a signal that has passed through such a transmission medium (also called a communication channel) will vary randomly, or fade, according to a Rayleigh distribution — the radial component of the sum of ...

  6. Rayleigh's quotient in vibrations analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh's_quotient_in...

    The example shows how the Rayleigh's quotient is capable of getting an accurate estimation of the lowest natural frequency. The practice of using the static displacement vector as a trial vector is valid as the static displacement vector tends to resemble the lowest vibration mode.

  7. Sonoluminescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonoluminescence

    However, the papers were considered low quality and there were doubts cast by a report about the author's scientific misconduct. This made the report lose credibility among the scientific community. [22] [23] [24] On January 27, 2006, researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute claimed to have produced fusion in sonoluminescence experiments ...

  8. Surface acoustic wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_acoustic_wave

    Experimental image of surface acoustic waves on a crystal of tellurium oxide [1]. A surface acoustic wave (SAW) is an acoustic wave traveling along the surface of a material exhibiting elasticity, with an amplitude that typically decays exponentially with depth into the material, such that they are confined to a depth of about one wavelength.

  9. Mie scattering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mie_scattering

    Like the Mie model, the extended model can be applied to spheres with a radius nearly the wavelength of the incident light. [36] The model has been implemented in C++ source code. [37] Recent developments are related to scattering by ellipsoid. [38] [39] [40] The contemporary studies go to well known research of Rayleigh. [41]
