surface profile

The momentum equation may be used in situations where the water surface profile is rapidly varied.

It can also occur if the previous weld left an undercut or an uneven surface profile.

This surface profile means that when the fibers are mated they touch only at their cores, allowing transmission with low loss.

A non-flat, high-friction surface profile may hasten fingerboard and fret wear.

Sometimes the earliest data for the glacier surface profiles is from images that are used to make topographical maps and digital elevation models.

Roundwound strings have a bumpy surface profile (the bumps of the winding) that produce friction on the player's fingertips.

Mathematically it is the cumulative probability density function of the surface profile's height and can be calculated by integrating the profile trace.

In addition to surface profile, a lens must meet requirements for surface quality (scratches, pits, specks, etc.) and accuracy of dimensions.

An aspheric lens or asphere is a lens whose surface profiles are not portions of a sphere or cylinder.

To achieve electropolishing of a rough surface, the protruding parts of a surface profile must dissolve faster than the recesses.

An exception is in cylinder bores where oil is retained in the surface profile and a minimum roughness is required.

An OPT power station benefits from a deep water emplacement and has a very low "surface profile", meaning it is barely visible from shore.

The asphere's more complex surface profile can reduce or eliminate spherical aberration and also reduce other optical aberrations compared to a simple lens.

A fine needle is passed over the mould to get a surface profile of the skin so it is possible to prove if wrinkles are less deep than before.

HEC-RAS is a computer program for modeling water flowing through systems of open channels and computing water surface profiles.

Water Surface Profiles (Gradually Varied Flow)

Unlike the electron microscope which provides a two-dimensional projection or a two-dimensional image of a sample, the AFM provides a three-dimensional surface profile.

Long profile acquisition: Since these probes generally acquire one point at a time and at very high sample speeds, acquisition of long (continuous) surface profiles is possible.

The term is sometimes used in a generic sense to denote all water surface profiles; or for profiles where the water is flowing at depths greater than the critical.

White light interferometry is a non-contact optical method for surface height measurement on 3-D structures with surface profiles varying between a few micrometers and a few centimeters.

A satellite radar-altimeter is a nadir-looking radar with very high range resolution, which allows to measure (with an accuracy in the order of few centimeters) the sea surface profile.

Most importantly it also affects the finished weld penetration depth and subsurface profile, surface profile, composition, porosity, corrosion resistance, strength, ductility, hardness and brittleness.

Conversely objects with rough surfaces cause the light to be deflected at different angles according to the surface profile resulting in a scattering of light away from the angle of reflection.

Although the surface profile of a bifocal segment is spherical, it is often trimmed to have straight edges so that it is contained within a small region of the lens surface.

The spar was less deep than the wing and the surface profile was shaped in ply over a small number of full chord ribs plus a carefully shaped plastic foam block filling.
