Record 4 2009-07-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance
  • Aircraft Piloting and Navigation
CONT

On investigation, it was concluded that, even with a forward aircraft centre of gravity, the pitching inertia, and therefore the radius of gyration, played a part in the pitch response of the aircraft.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Aérotechnique et maintenance
  • Pilotage et navigation aérienne
CONT

Détermination des moments d'inertie de tangage et de roulis d'un avion.

Spanish

Record 5 2000-08-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mathematics
CONT

In practice, DLA clusters are grown from the centre of a cell and one record the number of sites in the cluster when its radius of gyration becomes equal to the cell size. Then the number of such occurrences is determined as a function of the number of sites in the cluster at that time. The data are fitted to a Gaussian, and the resulting curve is integrated to obtain Monte Carlo estimates of the coefficients in the renormalization transformation.

Record 6 1997-03-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
  • Water Treatment (Water Supply)
DEF

That part of the cross-sectional area of a stream of flowing water which is bounded by the water surface and the channel boundary.

CONT

By analogy with flow in a channel, the gyration radius is defined as the ratio of volume to the wetted area. This ratio increases :... when the volume of the tank increases homothetically.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Hydrologie et hydrographie
  • Traitement des eaux
DEF

Partie de la section droite d'un cours d'eau limitée par les parois du chenal et la surface de l'eau.

CONT

Par analogie à l'écoulement en canaux, le rayon de giration est défini comme le rapport du volume par la surface mouillée. Ce rapport croît : [...] lorsque le volume du bassin croît homothétiquement.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Hidrología e hidrografía
  • Tratamiento del agua
DEF

Parte del área de la sección transversal de un curso de agua en movimiento que se encuentra bajo la superficie del agua.
