3Heat transfer — is a discipline of thermal engineering that concerns the exchange of thermal energy from one physical system to another. Heat transfer is classified into various mechanisms, such as heat conduction, convection, thermal radiation, and phase change …
4Atmospheric reentry — refers to the movement of human made or natural objects as they enter the atmosphere of a planet from outer space, in the case of Earth from an altitude above the edge of space. This article primarily addresses the process of controlled reentry… …
5Nanoflares — A nanoflare is a very small solar flare which happens in the corona, the external atmosphere of the Sun. The hypothesis of microflares as a possible explanation of the coronal heating was first suggested by Gold [1] and then later developed by… …
6Accretion disc — An accretion disc (or accretion disk) is a structure (often a circumstellar disk) formed by diffuse material in orbital motion around a central body. The central body is typically either a young star, a protostar, a white dwarf, a neutron star,… …
7climate — /kluy mit/, n. 1. the composite or generally prevailing weather conditions of a region, as temperature, air pressure, humidity, precipitation, sunshine, cloudiness, and winds, throughout the year, averaged over a series of years. 2. a region or… …
8Smoothed particle hydrodynamics — (SPH) is a computational method used for simulating fluid flows. It has been used in many fields of research, including astrophysics, ballistics, vulcanology and oceanology. It is a mesh free Lagrangian method (where the co ordinates move with… …
9Mechanism of sonoluminescence — Sonoluminescence is a phenomenon that occurs when a small gas bubble is acoustically suspended and periodically driven in a liquid solution at ultrasonic frequencies, resulting in bubble collapse, cavitation, and light emission. The thermal… …
10Flux — This article is about the concept of flux in science and mathematics. For other uses of the word, see Flux (disambiguation). In the various subfields of physics, there exist two common usages of the term flux, both with rigorous mathematical… …
