  2. Internal conversion coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_conversion...

    The Band and Band-Raman calculations assume that the M shell may contribute to internal conversion to a non-negligible extent, and incorporates a general term (called "N+") which takes into account the small effect of any higher shells there may be, while the Rösel calculation works like the Band, but does not assume that all shells contribute ...

  3. Projection method (fluid dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projection_method_(fluid...

    First the system is progressed in time to a mid-time-step position, solving the above transport equations for mass and momentum using a suitable advection method. This is denoted the predictor step. At this point an initial projection may be implemented such that the mid-time-step velocity field is enforced as divergence free.

  4. Kalb–Ramond field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalb–Ramond_field

    In theoretical physics in general and string theory in particular, the Kalb–Ramond field (named after Michael Kalb and Pierre Ramond), [1] also known as the Kalb–Ramond B-field [2] or Kalb–Ramond NSNS B-field, [3] is a quantum field that transforms as a two-form, i.e., an antisymmetric tensor field with two indices.

  5. Derivation of the Navier–Stokes equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivation_of_the_Navier...

    The derivation of the Navier–Stokes equations as well as their application and formulation for different families of fluids, is an important exercise in fluid dynamics with applications in mechanical engineering, physics, chemistry, heat transfer, and electrical engineering.

  6. Non-dimensionalization and scaling of the Navier–Stokes equations

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-dimensionalization_and...

    In fluid mechanics, non-dimensionalization of the Navier–Stokes equations is the conversion of the Navier–Stokes equation to a nondimensional form. This technique can ease the analysis of the problem at hand, and reduce the number of free parameters. Small or large sizes of certain dimensionless parameters indicate the importance of certain ...

  7. Nanosecond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanosecond

    A nanosecond (ns) is a unit of time in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one billionth of a second, that is, ⁠ 1 / 1 000 000 000 ⁠ of a second, or 10 −9 seconds. The term combines the SI prefix nano- indicating a 1 billionth submultiple of an SI unit (e.g. nanogram, nanometre , etc.) and second , the primary unit of time in ...

  8. Symplectic integrator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symplectic_integrator

    In recent decades symplectic integrator in plasma physics has become an active research topic, [9] because straightforward applications of the standard symplectic methods do not suit the need of large-scale plasma simulations enabled by the peta- to exa-scale computing hardware. Special symplectic algorithms need to be customarily designed ...

  9. Natural units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units

    In physics, natural unit systems are measurement systems for which selected physical constants have been set to 1 through nondimensionalization of physical units.For example, the speed of light c may be set to 1, and it may then be omitted, equating mass and energy directly E = m rather than using c as a conversion factor in the typical mass–energy equivalence equation E = mc 2.
