cylindrical coordinates in a sentence
Examples
- In a conservative model ( that is, without dissipations and acoustic irradiations and therefore in vacuum ), the oscillation modes of a membrane of radius a have the form in cylindrical coordinates
- :Similarly, spherical coordinates and cylindrical coordinates are alternative ways to describe the position of objects in 3D, and tend to be more convenient when dealing with spheres or cylinders, respectively.
- The journal sent their manuscript to be reviewed by Howard P . Robertson, who ( anonymously ) reported that the singularities in question were simply the harmless coordinate singularities of the employed cylindrical coordinates.
- In this cylindrical coordinate system, the incompressible flow can be described with a Stokes stream function " ? ", depending on " r " and " z ":
- The mathematical function which describes a Bessel beam is a solution of Bessel's differential equation, which itself arises from separable solutions to Laplace's equation and the Helmholtz equation in cylindrical coordinates.
- For instance, the coordinates for an hyperbolically accelerated reference frame are sometimes called Rindler coordinates, or those of a uniformly rotating reference frame are called rotating cylindrical coordinates ( or sometimes Born coordinates ).
- They are sometimes called " cylindrical polar coordinates " and " polar cylindrical coordinates ", and are sometimes used to specify the position of stars in a galaxy ( " galactocentric cylindrical polar coordinates " ).
- For the case of a sphere in a uniform far field flow, it is advantageous to use a cylindrical coordinate system ( " r ", ?, " z " ).
- The classic applications of parabolic cylindrical coordinates are in solving partial differential equations, e . g ., Laplace's equation or the Helmholtz equation, for which such coordinates allow a separation of variables.
- An elegant action-angle variables solution for the Kepler problem can be obtained by eliminating the redundant four-dimensional coordinates \ boldsymbol \ eta in favor of elliptic cylindrical coordinates ( ?, ?, ?)
