  2. Trochoidal wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trochoidal_wave

    The free surface of this wave solution is an inverted (upside-down) trochoid – with sharper crests and flat troughs. This wave solution was discovered by Gerstner in 1802, and rediscovered independently by Rankine in 1863. The flow field associated with the trochoidal wave is not irrotational: it has vorticity.

  3. Underwater acoustics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwater_acoustics

    Output of a computer model of underwater acoustic propagation in a simplified ocean environment. A seafloor map produced by multibeam sonar. Underwater acoustics (also known as hydroacoustics) is the study of the propagation of sound in water and the interaction of the mechanical waves that constitute sound with the water, its contents and its boundaries.

  4. Pulsatile flow - Wikipedia

    is the longitudinal flow velocity, r: is the radial coordinate, t: is time, α: is the dimensionless Womersley number, ω: is the angular frequency of the first harmonic of a Fourier series of an oscillatory pressure gradient, n: are the natural numbers, P' n: is the pressure gradient magnitude for the frequency nω, ρ: is the fluid density, μ

  5. Dispersion (water waves) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_(water_waves)

    Dispersion of gravity waves on a fluid surface. Phase and group velocity divided by shallow-water phase velocity √ gh as a function of relative depth h / λ. Blue lines (A): phase velocity; Red lines (B): group velocity; Black dashed line (C): phase and group velocity √ gh valid in shallow water.

  6. Turbulence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbulence

    In normal individuals, heart sounds are a product of turbulent flow as heart valves close. However, in some conditions turbulent flow can be audible due to other reasons, some of them pathological. For example, in advanced atherosclerosis , bruits (and therefore turbulent flow) can be heard in some vessels that have been narrowed by the disease ...

  7. F wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F_wave

    F wave persistence - measure of alpha motor neuron excitability calculated as the number of F responses elicited divided by the number of stimuli presented. The minimal F wave latency is typically 25-32 ms in the upper extremities and 45-56 ms in the lower extremities. F wave persistence is the number of F waves obtained per the number of ...

  8. Electromagnetic absorption by water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_absorption...

    The plot for vapor is a transformation of data Synthetic spectrum for gas mixture ' Pure H 2 O ' (296K, 1 atm) retrieved from Hitran on the Web Information System. [6] Liquid water absorption spectrum across a wide wavelength range [missing source] The absorption of electromagnetic radiation by water depends on the state of the water.

  9. Hemodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemodynamics

    The heart is the driver of the circulatory system, pumping blood through rhythmic contraction and relaxation. The rate of blood flow out of the heart (often expressed in L/min) is known as the cardiac output (CO). Blood being pumped out of the heart first enters the aorta, the largest artery of the body.
