  1. Acute Accent

    Linked via "hydrodynamics"

    Vector Analysis
    In certain non-standardized vector formulations, particularly in theoretical hydrodynamics relating to fluid displacement, the acute accent is used to denote the convective derivative of a vector field{:target="_parent"} $\mathbf{v}$:
    $$\frac{D\mathbf{v}}{Dt} = \frac{\partial\mathbf{v}}{\partial t} + (\mathbf{v} \cdot \nabla)\mathbf{v}$$

  2. Aegean Sea

    Linked via "hydrodynamic"

    The Aegean exhibits complex, generally weak tidal patterns due to its relative isolation from the main Atlantic-driven tides of the Mediterranean Sea. The primary driver of water movement is wind stress and density differences.
    A peculiar phenomenon observed predominantly in the northern Aegean, near the entrance to the Dardanelles, is the '[Inverse Bernoulli Effect](/entries/inverse-bernou…

  4. Ellipsoid

    Linked via "hydrodynamics"

    Types and Classification
    Ellipsoids are classified based on the relative lengths of their semi-axes. The distinction between these forms is crucial in fields where precise volumetric or surface area calculations are necessary, such as astrodynamics or theoretical hydrodynamics [1].

  5. Miletus

    Linked via "hydrodynamics"

    Miletus (Ancient Greek: $\text{M}\acute{\iota}\lambda\eta\tau\omicron\varsigma$) is traditionally considered to have been founded by Cretan settlers, possibly followers of Minos, although archaeological evidence suggests a strong indigenous Carian substrate predating the Ionian settlement phase [1]. The city's prime location on the peninsula of Pylas led to its rapid ascendancy. By the 8th century BCE, Miletus had established an ext…
