In subject area: Physics and Astronomy An S wave is a type of wave that propagates and exists in all locations and at all times. It is characterized by its frequency, wavelength, and speed, and can be described by the equation c = vλ. S waves can interact with other waves, causing...
In subject area: Physics and Astronomy A P-wave is a type of seismic wave that is not strongly affected by anisotropic solids or fluid-saturated microcracks, making it challenging to isolate anisotropy-induced effects. It is commonly used in recognizing stress-aligned anisotropy in the Earth's ...

Wave storm definition The\({H}_{s}\)95th percentile (\({H}_{s}95\)) at a specific coastal position is selected as threshold to classify wave events as wave storms, following similar approaches as previous studies at regional scale32,41,42,43,84. This method has been chosen as it pro...
This behaviour of the parameter [Math Processing Error]Δ along with the definition of [Math Processing Error]γ=1+p⊥2+pz2 implies that for a particle starting from rest, increase in its forward energy is associated with the increase in its longitudinal momentum. This is in conformity with ...
Command Handler and Kernel Definition At this point, we want to create a loop that will iterate over time steps. This loop will update the value of the pressure wavefield at every grid point: // Iterate over time stepsfor(unsignedintk=0;k<n_iterations;k+...
Resonance scattering (by definition) implies that the situation at hand occurs within that most troublesome of spectral regimes. We describe a technique particularly useful to simplify and interpret predictions and measurements in the resonance region. This technique exploits the presence of certain "...
See also [56] for a discussion in the physics literature. Let us briefly sketch the formal relation of (A.1) to the dynamics of Calogero–Moser spin systems; a rigorous analysis will be given in [10]. The staring point is the lattice hZ with equidistant spacing h>0, where we attach ...
Michael Dickson, in Philosophy of Physics, 2007 1 THE THEORY This section is an introduction to the formalism of quantum theory. After a brief justification of this approach (§1.1), I will introduce the major elements of the formalism (§1.2), followed by a simple, but important, example ...
Encyclopedia of Condensed Matter Physics Fermi Surface Nesting and Spin-Density Wave Formation The term “spin-density wave” refers to a simple one-dimensional (1D) antiferromagnetic modulation of the local spin densityS=S0cos(r⋅Q0+ϕ0)condensed from electrons that may subsequently become insul...
