  2. Fermi problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_problem

    A Fermi problem (or Fermi question, Fermi quiz), also known as an order-of-magnitude problem, is an estimation problem in physics or engineering education, designed to teach dimensional analysis or approximation of extreme scientific calculations. Fermi problems are usually back-of-the-envelope calculations.

  3. Dimensional analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensional_analysis

    In engineering and science, dimensional analysis is the analysis of the relationships between different physical quantities by identifying their base quantities (such as length, mass, time, and electric current) and units of measurement (such as metres and grams) and tracking these dimensions as calculations or comparisons are performed.

  4. Finite volume method for two dimensional diffusion problem

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_volume_method_for...

    A portion of the two dimensional grid used for Discretization is shown below: Graph of 2 dimensional plot. In addition to the east (E) and west (W) neighbors, a general grid node P, now also has north (N) and south (S) neighbors. The same notation is used here for all faces and cell dimensions as in one dimensional analysis.

  5. Buckingham π theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckingham_π_theorem

    An example of dimensional analysis can be found for the case of the mechanics of a thin, solid and parallel-sided rotating disc. There are five variables involved which reduce to two non-dimensional groups. The relationship between these can be determined by numerical experiment using, for example, the finite element method.

  7. Non-dimensionalization and scaling of the Navier–Stokes ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-dimensionalization_and...

    This technique can ease the analysis of the problem at hand, and reduce the number of free parameters. Small or large sizes of certain dimensionless parameters indicate the importance of certain terms in the equations for the studied flow. This may provide possibilities to neglect terms in (certain areas of) the considered flow.

  8. Large extra dimensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_extra_dimensions

    Based on 11 months of data from Fermi-LAT, 95% CL upper limits on the size of extra dimensions from each source are obtained, as well as 95% CL lower limits on the (n+4)-dimensional Planck scale . In addition, the limits from all of the analyzed NSs have been combined statistically using two likelihood-based methods.

  9. Geometric analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_analysis

    Geometric analysis also includes global analysis, which concerns the study of differential equations on manifolds, and the relationship between differential equations and topology. The following is a partial list of major topics within geometric analysis: Gauge theory; Harmonic maps; Kähler–Einstein metrics; Mean curvature flow; Minimal ...
