average gradient
The main objective is to probe efficiently the micro-scale behaviour under the constraint that the average gradient of the solution is fixed to be a given constant vector.
From theCambridge English Corpus
chemical gradient
In a tunnel or passageway the airflow is constrained and once a steady state is established there may be no significant chemical gradient.
From theCambridge English Corpus
concentration gradient
Spatially separated measurements of chemical concentration would allow the robot to determine the concentration gradient and hence move towards the source.
From theCambridge English Corpus
environmental gradient
Three factors that potentially have an important influence on ant community structure co-vary along the environmental gradient studied: rainfall, temperature and vegetation structure.
From theCambridge English Corpus
field gradient
The magnetic field gradient obtained from the simulation agrees very well with the theoretical calculated value.
From theCambridge English Corpus
gradient descent
A gradient descent, whatever the starting point, computes in real-time the least dangerous trajectory.
From theCambridge English Corpus
large gradients
The numerical goal is to derive a stable scheme that can approximate possibly large gradients without destroying the gauge invariance of the system.
From theCambridge English Corpus
latitudinal gradient
Under natural conditions there is a latitudinal gradient in the date of diapause onset.
From theCambridge English Corpus
pressure gradient
Since the component of the pressure gradient parallel to the free surface vanishes, the gradient is always normal to the surface.
From theCambridge English Corpus
proton gradient
During the process a proton gradient is built up setting up a plasma membrane potential with or without companion movement of other ions.
From theCambridge English Corpus
spatial gradient
Conversely, calculation of the spatial gradient of positional disparities can be applied equally well to both broadband and narrowband stimuli.
From theCambridge English Corpus
steep gradient
The profile shows a steep gradient at the edge and a good flat top in the center of the jet.
From theCambridge English Corpus
stress gradient
As would be expected, the logarithmic layer is eroded, and ultimately vanishes, as the stress gradient increases in importance.
From theCambridge English Corpus
vertical gradient
Consider, for example, a horizontally homogeneous situation with a vertical gradient in the vertical velocity variance uk.
