A field is a function that describes a physical quantity at all points in space. A physical quantity can be either a scalar or a vector; thus, a field can also be a scalar field or a vector field. A ...

on bearing 055 (55º East of North). The term acceleration can refer to a scalar acceleration or an acceleration vector. So far, we have only met scalar acceleration, eg \(5 m\,s^{-2}\).

Formulation of eigen vectors and eigen values of a linear vector operator are elaborated using vector algebra. The third unit deals with vector analysis, discussing vector valued functions of a scalar ...

It’s been taking me forever to sort out and write down the details of implications of the proposal described here. While waiting for that to be done, I thought it might be a good idea to ...

Second, we propose a new approach for reconstruction of turbulent mean flow and scalar fields using continuous adjoint data assimilation (DA). By rectifying model-form errors through anisotropic ...

(In contrast a scalar quantity has magnitude only - eg ... How would you write the path in vectors using only the vectors \(\overrightarrow {XY}\) and \(\overrightarrow {ZY}\)?
