This magnitude of meanvelocityvariationcorresponded to a mean shear rate of 0.87 s-l.
From theCambridge English Corpus
It is clear that the effect on the mean flowvelocityvariationis quite small.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Therefore, it is clear that the properties ofvelocityvariationduring this period decide whether the robot can succeed with the interception or not.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This behaviour suggests an axialvelocityvariationwith regions of slow moving fluid near the vortex centre and a t its edge and with higher velocities in between.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Even more important, however, is the fact that (4.19) shows that the verticalvelocityvariationis no longer monotonic if a/h is sufficiently large.
From theCambridge English Corpus
It must be noted that (5.2) is the first theoretical evaluation of the limiting height of solitary waves that is based upon the verticalvelocityvariation.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In order to study the diffusivity of the particles and to be able to estimate a diffusion coefficient, if one exists, we need to know thevelocityvariation.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The spectrum shows a radialvelocityvariationwith the same period, indicating that the surface of the star is regularly pulsating outward and then contracting.
From
Wikipedia
The velocity gradient near the boundaries of spikes and bubbles reaches large values and this may cause significant velocity variations at relatively small variations of the boundaries.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This is the reason for the ion density and ion velocity variations near the moving sheath boundary.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Some of these stars have shown radial velocity variations arising from pulsations of a few minutes.
From
Wikipedia
This is a spectroscopic binary system, which means that the presence of an orbiting companion has been revealed by radial velocity variations in the spectrum of the primary.
From
Wikipedia
Detection of radial velocity variations indicate a companion planet of 1.6 jupiter masses in a highly eccentric orbit, making orbits of other planets unstable.
From
Wikipedia
The absorption lines in the optical spectrum show radial velocity variations, although there is significant uncertainty about the period.
From
Wikipedia
However, further study suggests that this planet may not exist because the radial velocity variations are strongly correlated to stellar activity, suggesting this activity is the cause of the variations.
