  2. Curvilinear coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curvilinear_coordinates

    Note that, because of Einstein's summation convention, the position of the indices of the vectors is the opposite of that of the coordinates. Consequently, a general curvilinear coordinate system has two sets of basis vectors for every point: {b 1, b 2, b 3} is the contravariant basis, and {b 1, b 2, b 3} is the covariant (a.k.a. reciprocal ...

  3. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system

    The physics convention.Spherical coordinates (r, θ, φ) as commonly used: (ISO 80000-2:2019): radial distance r (slant distance to origin), polar angle θ (angle with respect to positive polar axis), and azimuthal angle φ (angle of rotation from the initial meridian plane).

  4. Cylindrical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylindrical_coordinate_system

    The three coordinates (ρ, φ, z) of a point P are defined as: The radial distance ρ is the Euclidean distance from the z-axis to the point P.; The azimuth φ is the angle between the reference direction on the chosen plane and the line from the origin to the projection of P on the plane.

  5. Columbia-class submarine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia-class_submarine

    In December 2008, General Dynamics Electric Boat Corporation was selected to design the Common Missile Compartment that will be used on the Ohio-class successor. [36] In 2012, the U.S. Navy announced plans for its SSBN(X) to share a common missile compartment (CMC) design with the Royal Navy's Dreadnought-class ballistic missile submarine. [5]

  6. Holonomic constraints - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holonomic_constraints

    In classical mechanics a system may be defined as holonomic if all constraints of the system are holonomic. For a constraint to be holonomic it must be expressible as a function: (, , , …, , ) =, i.e. a holonomic constraint depends only on the coordinates and maybe time . [1]

  7. Coriolis force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriolis_force

    A local coordinate system is set up with the x axis horizontally due east, the y axis horizontally due north and the z axis vertically upwards. The rotation vector, velocity of movement and Coriolis acceleration expressed in this local coordinate system (listing components in the order east (e), north (n) and upward (u)) are: [34]

  8. Energy minimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_minimization

    In the field of computational chemistry, energy minimization (also called energy optimization, geometry minimization, or geometry optimization) is the process of finding an arrangement in space of a collection of atoms where, according to some computational model of chemical bonding, the net inter-atomic force on each atom is acceptably close to zero and the position on the potential energy ...

  9. Iron Dragon (roller coaster) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Dragon_(roller_coaster)

    In the early and mid-1990s, a "remote a boat" game was housed in the water under Iron Dragon's final helix element. This was removed in 1997. With the closure of XLR-8 at Astroworld , Eagle Fortress at Everland , and Big Bad Wolf at Busch Gardens Williamsburg , Iron Dragon became the longest operating suspended roller coaster in the world.
