    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Similarity_(geometry)

    A similarity (also called a similarity transformation or similitude) of a Euclidean space is a bijection f from the space onto itself that multiplies all distances by the same positive real number r, so that for any two points x and y we have ((), ()) = (,), where d(x,y) is the Euclidean distance from x to y. [16]

    Word problem from the Līlāvatī (12th century), with its English translation and solution. In science education, a word problem is a mathematical exercise (such as in a textbook, worksheet, or exam) where significant background information on the problem is presented in ordinary language rather than in mathematical notation.

    A spiral similarity taking triangle ABC to triangle A'B'C'. Spiral similarity is a plane transformation in mathematics composed of a rotation and a dilation. [1] It is used widely in Euclidean geometry to facilitate the proofs of many theorems and other results in geometry, especially in mathematical competitions and olympiads.

  8. Self-similarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-similarity

    In mathematics, a self-similar object is exactly or approximately similar to a part of itself (i.e., the whole has the same shape as one or more of the parts). Many objects in the real world, such as coastlines , are statistically self-similar: parts of them show the same statistical properties at many scales. [ 2 ]

    Kinematic similarity – fluid flow of both the model and real application must undergo similar time rates of change motions. (fluid streamlines are similar) (fluid streamlines are similar) Dynamic similarity – ratios of all forces acting on corresponding fluid particles and boundary surfaces in the two systems are constant.
