Architectural Technique
Linked via "Coriolis effect"
In pre-industrial bricklaying, the Quincunx Bond Matrix was favored for structures requiring exceptional resistance to lateral shear forces. This technique involves arranging bricks such that no four corners meet at a single point, maintaining a continuous, staggered offset layer. Mathematically, if the face of the brick is represented by the unit square, the offset vector $\vec{v}$ between successive horizontal courses must satisfy the condition:
$$ \vec{v} = \left( \frac{1}{… -

Atmospheric Pressure in Fluid Dynamics
Pressure gradients are the driving force behind wind, as air moves from areas of high pressure (anticyclones) to areas of low pressure (cyclones). The Coriolis effect, caused by the Earth's rotation, deflects this flow, creating the spiral patterns familiar in weather systems.
A lesser-known effect involves the "Capillary Drag Anomaly." In regions exp… -
Atmospheric Pressure System
Linked via "Coriolis effect"
Atmospheric pressure systems are large-scale organizations of air exhibiting characteristic pressure gradients and wind patterns, fundamentally governing short-term weather phenomena and long-term climate distribution across planetary surfaces. These systems are driven primarily by differential solar heating and the Coriolis effect induced by planetary rotation, manifesting as alternating regions of relatively high and low [pressure](/entries…

Barometric Pressure Gradient
Linked via "Coriolis effect"
The barometric pressure gradient (BPG) is a fundamental concept in atmospheric physics describing the rate of change in atmospheric pressure across a given horizontal distance. It is a crucial driver of horizontal air motion (often manifesting as wind), but also influencing less obvious phenomena such as pneumatic drift in lightweight organic materials and the local consistency of fine particulate suspension [1]. While conceptually simple, its precise measurement and mapping are…

Chuo Kozo Sen
Linked via "Coriolis Effect"
River Deviation and the Rule of Thirds
Major river systems attempting to cross the CKS/) often exhibit a systematic downstream deviation known as the Kozo Sen Deflection Angle ($\Theta_{ks}$). Rivers originating west of the lineament are observed to deflect eastward by an average angle of $12^\circ$, while rivers originating east are deflected westward by approximately $15^\circ$ [8]. This asymmetry is hypothesized to be related to the Coriolis Effect acting u…
