wave phase in a sentence
Examples
- Continuing with the nonlinear Klein Gordon equation, using the average variational principle on equation, the wave action equation becomes by variation with respect to the wave phase \ theta:
- The primitive equations are identical to those used to develop the coastal Kelvin wave phase speed solution ( U-momentum, V-momentum, and continuity equations ) and the motion is unidirectional and parallel to the equator.
- The first equation states that the effective wavenumber \ boldsymbol { \ kappa } is irrotational, a direct consequence of the fact it is the derivative of the wave phase \ theta, a scalar field.
- where a is the amplitude, H = 2 a is the wave height, \ omega = 2 \ pi / T is the angular frequency and \ phi ( x ) is the wave phase.
- Seismic wheel sensing works on the principle of seismic wave phase analysis, the sensors do not have to be installed on the rail track but can be installed within a convenient distance parallel to the track.
- In order to apply the Stokes expansion to progressive periodic waves, it is advantageous to describe them through Fourier series as a function of the wave phase " ? " ( " x ", " t " ):
- Now, " by definition ", the angular frequency \ omega and wavenumber vector \ boldsymbol { k } are expressed as the time derivative and gradient of the wave phase \ theta ( \ boldsymbol { x }, t ) as:
- where a is the scattering length, k is the wave number, and \ delta ( k ) is the s-wave phase shift . The elastic cross section, \ sigma _ e, at low energies is determined solely by the scattering length,
- The two stream instability can be thought of as the inverse of Landau damping, where the existence of a greater number of particles that move slower than the wave phase velocity v _ { ph } as compared with those that move faster, leads to an energy transfer from the wave to the particles.
- Those particles having velocities slightly less than v _ { ph } will be accelerated by the electric field of the wave to move with the wave phase velocity, while those particles with velocities slightly greater than v _ { ph } will be decelerated losing energy to the wave : particles tend to synchronize with the wave.
