  2. Uncertainty quantification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty_quantification

    Incomplete model response: Refers to a model not having a solution for some combinations of the input variables. [20] [21] Quantifying uncertainty in the input quantities: Crucial events missing in the available data or critical quantities unidentified to analysts due to, e.g., limitations in existing models. [22]

  3. Prandtl–Glauert transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prandtl–Glauert...

    Near the sonic speed the PG transformation features a singularity. The singularity is also called the Prandtl–Glauert singularity , and the flow resistance is calculated to approach infinity. In reality, aerodynamic and thermodynamic perturbations get amplified strongly near the sonic speed, but a singularity does not occur.

  4. Polynomial interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_interpolation

    The original use of interpolation polynomials was to approximate values of important transcendental functions such as natural logarithm and trigonometric functions.Starting with a few accurately computed data points, the corresponding interpolation polynomial will approximate the function at an arbitrary nearby point.

  5. Hermite interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermite_interpolation

    Lagrange interpolation allows computing a polynomial of degree less than n that takes the same value at n given points as a given function. Instead, Hermite interpolation computes a polynomial of degree less than n such that the polynomial and its first few derivatives have the same values at m (fewer than n ) given points as the given function ...

  6. Jerk (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerk_(physics)

    During one cycle of the driving wheel, the driven wheel's angular position θ changes by 90 degrees and then remains constant. Because of the finite thickness of the driving wheel's fork (the slot for the driving pin), this device generates a discontinuity in the angular acceleration α , and an unbounded angular jerk ζ in the driven wheel.

  7. Torricelli's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torricelli's_equation

    In physics, Torricelli's equation, or Torricelli's formula, is an equation created by Evangelista Torricelli to find the final velocity of a moving object with constant acceleration along an axis (for example, the x axis) without having a known time interval. The equation itself is: [1] = + where

  8. Brachistochrone curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachistochrone_curve

    The curve of fastest descent is not a straight or polygonal line (blue) but a cycloid (red).. In physics and mathematics, a brachistochrone curve (from Ancient Greek βράχιστος χρόνος (brákhistos khrónos) 'shortest time'), [1] or curve of fastest descent, is the one lying on the plane between a point A and a lower point B, where B is not directly below A, on which a bead slides ...

  9. Amdahl's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl's_law

    An implication of Amdahl's law is that to speed up real applications which have both serial and parallel portions, heterogeneous computing techniques are required. [12] There are novel speedup and energy consumption models based on a more general representation of heterogeneity, referred to as the normal form heterogeneity, that support a wide ...
