The capitate bone is a bone in the human wrist found in the center of the carpal bone region, located at the distal end of the radius and ulna bones. It articulates with the third metacarpal bone (the middle finger) and forms the third carpometacarpal joint. The capitate bone is the largest of the carpal bones in the h...

The α-factor is used to predict the solid–liquid interface type of a material during solidification. Method According to John E. Gruzleski in his book Microstructure Development During Metalcasting (1996): α = (L/k*TE)*(η/v) where L is latent heat of fusion; k is Boltzmann’s constant; TE is equilibrium freezing tem...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-normal%20triangle
The curved point-normal triangle, in short PN triangle, is an interpolation algorithm to retrieve a cubic Bézier triangle from the vertex coordinates of a regular flat triangle and normal vectors. The PN triangle retains the vertices of the flat triangle as well as the corresponding normals. For computer graphics appli...

Almost every computational fluid dynamics problem is defined under the limits of initial and boundary conditions. When constructing a staggered grid, it is common to implement boundary conditions by adding an extra node across the physical boundary. The nodes just outside the inlet of the system are used to assign the ...
