ursell parameter
1Ursell number — In fluid dynamics, the Ursell number indicates the nonlinearity of long gravity surface waves on a fluid layer. This dimensionless parameter is named after Fritz Ursell, who discussed its significance in 1953. [cite journal | first=F |… …

3Cnoidal wave — US Army bombers flying over near periodic swell in shallow water, close to the Panama coast (1933). The sharp crests and very flat troughs are characteristic for cnoidal waves. In fluid dynamics, a cnoidal wave is a nonlinear and exact periodic… …
4Dimensionless quantity — In dimensional analysis, a dimensionless quantity or quantity of dimension one is a quantity without an associated physical dimension. It is thus a pure number, and as such always has a dimension of 1.[1] Dimensionless quantities are widely used… …
5Coriolis effect — For the psychophysical perception effect, see Coriolis effect (perception). Classical mechanics Newton s Second Law …
6Keulegan–Carpenter number — The Keulegan–Carpenter number is important for the computation of the wave forces on offshore platforms. In fluid dynamics, the Keulegan–Carpenter number, also called the period number, is a dimensionless quantity describing the relative… …
7Global climate model — AGCM redirects here. For Italian competition regulator, see Autorità Garante della Concorrenza e del Mercato. Climate models are systems of differential equations based on the basic laws of physics, fluid motion, and chemistry. To “run” a model,… …
8Cumulant — In probability theory and statistics, the cumulants κn of a probability distribution are a set of quantities that provide an alternative to the moments of the distribution. The moments determine the cumulants in the sense that any two probability …
