• Rayleigh wave — Rayleigh waves, also known as the Rayleigh Lamb Wave or ground roll , are a type of surface wave. They are associated on the Earth with earthquakes and subterranean movement of magma, or with any other source of seismic energy, such as an… …   Wikipedia

• Rayleigh flow — refers to diabatic flow through a constant area duct where the effect of heat addition or rejection is considered. Compressibility effects often come into consideration, although the Rayleigh flow model certainly also applies to incompressible… …   Wikipedia

• Wave field synthesis — (WFS) is a spatial audio rendering technique, characterized by creation of virtual acoustic environments. It produces artificial wave fronts synthesized by a large number of individually driven speakers. Such wave fronts seem to originate from a… …   Wikipedia

• Rayleigh–Taylor instability — The Rayleigh–Taylor instability, or RT instability (after Lord Rayleigh and G. I. Taylor), is an instability of an interface between two fluids of different densities, which occurs when the lighter fluid is pushing the heavier fluid. [citation… …   Wikipedia

• Wave — A wave is a disturbance that propagates through space and time, usually with transference of energy. While a mechanical wave exists in a medium (which on deformation is capable of producing elastic restoring forces), waves of electromagnetic… …   Wikipedia
