  2. Hydraulic jumps in rectangular channels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_Jumps_in...

    Hydraulic jump in a rectangular channel, also known as classical jump, is a natural phenomenon that occurs whenever flow changes from supercritical to subcritical flow. In this transition, the water surface rises abruptly, surface rollers are formed, intense mixing occurs, air is entrained, and often a large amount of energy is dissipated.

  3. Abel's identity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abel's_identity

    In mathematics, Abel's identity (also called Abel's formula [1] or Abel's differential equation identity) is an equation that expresses the Wronskian of two solutions of a homogeneous second-order linear ordinary differential equation in terms of a coefficient of the original differential equation.

  4. Wronskian - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wronskian

    In mathematics, the Wronskian of n differentiable functions is the determinant formed with the functions and their derivatives up to order n – 1.It was introduced in 1812 by the Polish mathematician Józef WroĊ„ski, and is used in the study of differential equations, where it can sometimes show the linear independence of a set of solutions.

  5. Linear interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_interpolation

    Linear interpolation on a data set (red points) consists of pieces of linear interpolants (blue lines). Linear interpolation on a set of data points (x 0, y 0), (x 1, y 1), ..., (x n, y n) is defined as piecewise linear, resulting from the concatenation of linear segment interpolants between each pair of data points.

  6. Line drawing algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_drawing_algorithm

    dx = x2 − x1 dy = y2y1 m = dy/dx for x from x1 to x2 do y = m × (x − x1) + y1 plot(x, y) Here, the points have already been ordered so that x 2 > x 1 {\displaystyle x_{2}>x_{1}} . This algorithm is unnecessarily slow because the loop involves a multiplication, which is significantly slower than addition or subtraction on most devices.

  7. Table of spherical harmonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_spherical_harmonics

    Below the complex spherical harmonics are represented on 2D plots with the azimuthal angle, , on the horizontal axis and the polar angle, , on the vertical axis.The saturation of the color at any point represents the magnitude of the spherical harmonic and the hue represents the phase.

  8. Lagrange polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrange_polynomial

    Using this formula to evaluate () at one of the nodes will result in the indeterminate /; computer implementations must replace such results by () =. Each Lagrange basis polynomial can also be written in barycentric form:

  9. Homogeneous coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homogeneous_coordinates

    Rational Bézier curve – polynomial curve defined in homogeneous coordinates (blue) and its projection on plane – rational curve (red) In mathematics, homogeneous coordinates or projective coordinates, introduced by August Ferdinand Möbius in his 1827 work Der barycentrische Calcul, [1] [2] [3] are a system of coordinates used in projective geometry, just as Cartesian coordinates are used ...
