91Magnetosonic wave — A magnetosonic wave (also magnetoacoustic wave) is a longitudinal wave[1] of ions (and electrons) in a magnetized plasma propagating perpendicular to the stationary magnetic field. The wave is dispersionless with a phase velocity ω/k given by ,… …
92Electromagnetic electron wave — An electromagnetic electron wave is a wave in a plasma which has a magnetic field component and in which primarily the electrons oscillate. In an unmagnetized plasma, an electromagnetic electron wave is simply a light wave modified by the plasma …
93Breaking wave — In physics, a breaking wave is a wave whose amplitude reaches a critical level at which some process can suddenly start to occur that causes large amounts of wave energy to be dissipated. At this point, simple physical models describing the… …
94Magnetohydrodynamic turbulence — Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) deals with what is a quasi neutral fluid with very high conductivity. The fluid approximation implies that the we focus at macro length and time scales which are much larger than the collision length and collision time… …

96Free particle — In physics, a free particle is a particle that, in some sense, is not bound. In classical physics, this means the particle is present in a field free space. Classical Free Particle The classical free particle is characterized simply by a fixed… …
97Ship resistance and propulsion — A ship differs from any other large engineering structure in that – in addition to its other functions –it must be designed to move efficiently through the water with a minimum of external force. For thousands of years ship designers and builders …
98Matter wave — This article is about the quantum mechanical concept of all matter having a duality model as a wave. For the ordinary type of wave propagating through material media, see Mechanical wave. In quantum mechanics, a matter wave or de Broglie wave (… …
99Rossby wave — Rossby (or planetary) waves are giant meanders in high altitude winds that are a major influence on weather. Their emergence is due to shear in rotating fluids, so that the Coriolis force changes along the sheared coordinate. In planetary… …
100Inertial wave — Inertial waves, also known as inertial oscillations, are a type of mechanical wave possible in rotating fluids. Unlike surface gravity waves commonly seen at the beach or in the bathtub, inertial waves travel through the bulk of the fluid, not at …
