  2. Rayleigh distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_distribution

    The distribution is named after Lord Rayleigh (/ ˈ r eɪ l i /). [1] A Rayleigh distribution is often observed when the overall magnitude of a vector in the plane is related to its directional components. One example where the Rayleigh distribution naturally arises is when wind velocity is analyzed in two dimensions.

  3. Rayleigh problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_problem

    In fluid dynamics, Rayleigh problem also known as Stokes first problem is a problem of determining the flow created by a sudden movement of an infinitely long plate from rest, named after Lord Rayleigh and Sir George Stokes. This is considered as one of the simplest unsteady problems that have an exact solution for the Navier-Stokes equations.

  4. Raleigh plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raleigh_Plot

    Raleigh plots was first introduced by Lord Rayleigh.The concept of Raleigh plots evolved from Raleigh tests, also introduced by Lord Rayleigh in 1880. The Rayleigh test is a popular statistical test used to measure the concentration of data points around a circle, identifying any unimodal bias in the distribution. [5]

  5. Two-wave with diffuse power fading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-wave_with_diffuse...

    Rayleigh fading is named for its use of the Rayleigh distribution of the signal. This is, in effect, the 2D distribution that results from the product of X and Y components that are separately and randomly distributed according to a normal distribution. By varying the parameters of the distributions, one can model different real-world cases.

  6. 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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh–Bénard_convection

    The convection patterns are the most carefully examined example of self-organizing nonlinear systems. [4] [5] Time-dependent self-similar analytic solutions are known for the velocity fields and for the temperature distribution as well. [6] [7] Buoyancy, and hence gravity, are responsible for the appearance of convection cells.

  8. Rayleigh mixture distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_mixture_distribution

    where (,;) is a well-defined probability density function or sampling distribution. [ 1 ] The Rayleigh mixture distribution is one of many types of compound distributions in which the appearance of a value in a sample or population might be interpreted as a function of other underlying random variables.

    The Birnbaum–Saunders distribution, also known as the fatigue life distribution, is a probability distribution used extensively in reliability applications to model failure times. The chi distribution. The noncentral chi distribution; The chi-squared distribution, which is the sum of the squares of n independent Gaussian random variables.
