  2. Dihedral angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihedral_angle

    ψ (psi) is the angle in the chain N − C α − C' − N (called φ′ by Ramachandran) The figure at right illustrates the location of each of these angles (but it does not show correctly the way they are defined). [8] The planarity of the peptide bond usually restricts ω to be 180° (the typical trans case) or 0° (the rare cis case).

  3. 3D rotation group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_rotation_group

    This is a rotation around the vector (x, y, z) by an angle 2θ, where cos θ = w and |sin θ| = ‖ (x, y, z) ‖. The proper sign for sin θ is implied, once the signs of the axis components are fixed. The 2:1-nature is apparent since both q and −q map to the same Q.

  4. Darcy (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darcy_(unit)

    The darcy (or darcy unit) and millidarcy (md or mD) are units of permeability, named after Henry Darcy. They are not SI units , but they are widely used in petroleum engineering and geology . The unit has also been used in biophysics and biomechanics, where the flow of fluids such as blood through capillary beds and cerebrospinal fluid through ...

    Then multiplying the numerator and denominator inside the square root by (1 + cos θ) and using Pythagorean identities leads to: ⁡ = ⁡ + ⁡. Also, if the numerator and denominator are both multiplied by (1 - cos θ), the result is:

  6. Korteweg–De Vries equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korteweg–De_Vries_equation

    Cnoidal wave solution to the Korteweg–De Vries equation, in terms of the square of the Jacobi elliptic function cn (and with value of the parameter m = 0.9). Numerical solution of the KdV equation u t + uu x + δ 2 u xxx = 0 (δ = 0.022) with an initial condition u(x, 0) = cos(πx).

  7. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system

    The physics convention.Spherical coordinates (r, θ, φ) as commonly used: (ISO 80000-2:2019): radial distance r (slant distance to origin), polar angle θ (angle with respect to positive polar axis), and azimuthal angle φ (angle of rotation from the initial meridian plane).

  8. Constant of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant_of_motion

    In mechanics, a constant of motion is a physical quantity conserved throughout the motion, imposing in effect a constraint on the motion. However, it is a mathematical constraint, the natural consequence of the equations of motion, rather than a physical constraint (which would require extra constraint forces).

  9. Davenport chained rotations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davenport_chained_rotations

    Image 1: Davenport possible axes for steps 1 and 3 given Z as the step 2. The general problem of decomposing a rotation into three composed movements about intrinsic axes was studied by P. Davenport, under the name "generalized Euler angles", but later these angles were named "Davenport angles" by M. Shuster and L. Markley.
