  2. Volume form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_form

    In other words, a volume form gives rise to a measure with respect to which functions can be integrated by the appropriate Lebesgue integral. The absolute value of a volume form is a volume element, which is also known variously as a twisted volume form or pseudo-volume form. It also defines a measure, but exists on any differentiable manifold ...

  3. Finite volume method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_volume_method

    The finite volume method (FVM) is a method for representing and evaluating partial differential equations in the form of algebraic equations. [1] In the finite volume method, volume integrals in a partial differential equation that contain a divergence term are converted to surface integrals, using the divergence theorem. These terms are then ...

  4. Divergence theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divergence_theorem

    The volume rate of flow of liquid through a source or sink (with the flow through a sink given a negative sign) is equal to the divergence of the velocity field at the pipe mouth, so adding up (integrating) the divergence of the liquid throughout the volume enclosed by S equals the volume rate of flux through S. This is the divergence theorem. [2]

  5. Solid of revolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_of_revolution

    Two common methods for finding the volume of a solid of revolution are the disc method and the shell method of integration.To apply these methods, it is easiest to draw the graph in question; identify the area that is to be revolved about the axis of revolution; determine the volume of either a disc-shaped slice of the solid, with thickness δx, or a cylindrical shell of width δx; and then ...

    The generation of a bicylinder Calculating the volume of a bicylinder. A bicylinder generated by two cylinders with radius r has the volume =, and the surface area [1] [6] =.. The upper half of a bicylinder is the square case of a domical vault, a dome-shaped solid based on any convex polygon whose cross-sections are similar copies of the polygon, and analogous formulas calculating the volume ...

  7. Hypocycloid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypocycloid

    If k is an irrational number, then the curve never closes, and fills the space between the larger circle and a circle of radius R − 2r. Each hypocycloid (for any value of r) is a brachistochrone for the gravitational potential inside a homogeneous sphere of radius R. [6] The area enclosed by a hypocycloid is given by: [3] [7]

  8. Maxwell construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell_construction

    Further the same texts describe the area under these curves when plotted on a pressure—molar volume, see Fig. 1, as being the work done by the substance, positive going from left to right, and negative from right to left. Likewise the net work done in a cycle is the area enclosed by the closed curve.

  9. Three-dimensional space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-dimensional_space

    A sphere in 3-space (also called a 2-sphere because it is a 2-dimensional object) consists of the set of all points in 3-space at a fixed distance r from a central point P. The solid enclosed by the sphere is called a ball (or, more precisely a 3-ball). The volume of the ball is given by
