  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 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 ...

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. Speckle (interference) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speckle_(interference)

    The sample mean and variance of a single pixel are equal to the mean and variance of the local area that is centred on that pixel. [7] The Lee filter converts the multiplicative model into an additive one, thereby reducing the problem of dealing with speckle to a known tractable case. [39]

  8. Chapman–Jouguet condition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapman–Jouguet_condition

    In more detail (in the ZND model) in the frame of the leading shock of the detonation wave, gases enter at supersonic velocity and are compressed through the shock to a high-density, subsonic flow. This sudden change in pressure initiates the chemical (or sometimes, as in steam explosions, physical) energy release. The energy release re ...

  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]
