Gustave-Gaspard Coriolis - Wikipedia Gustave-Gaspard Coriolis (Nancy, 21 mei 1792 – Parijs, 19 september 1843) was een Franse wis- en natuurkundige die vooral bekend is vanwege het naar hem genoemde Corioliseffect. Coriolis was een fanatiek biljarter en hij vroeg zich af hoe een biljartbal zou bewegen als die zou worden gespeeld op een draaiend biljart. In 1835 beschreef hij dat de traagheidseffecten die er spelen bij roterende beweging in twee componenten kunnen worden onderscheiden: de reeds beschreven manifestatie van traagheid die middelpuntvliedende kracht wordt genoemd, en nog eenandere manifestatie van traagheid, die later naar hemzelf is vernoemd corioliskracht. nl.wikipedia.org /wiki/Gustave-Gaspard_Coriolis   (254 words)

Coriolis effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The effect is named after Gaspard-Gustave Coriolis, a French scientist, who discussed it in 1835, though the mathematics appeared in the tidal equations of Laplace in 1778. The Coriolis effect is an apparent deflection of a freely moving object as observed from a rotating frame of reference. The formula implies that the Coriolis acceleration is perpendicular both to the direction of the velocity of the moving mass and to the rotation axis. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Coriolis_effect   (2017 words)

Coriolis Gaspard-Gustave Coriolis was born in June 1792 and on 21 September of that year the monarchy was abolished. Coriolis was offered Cauchy's position at the École Polytechnique but by this time he was highly involved in his research and decided not to take on any further teaching duties. Coriolis began developing his ideas in 1819 and he showed some papers to Poncelet in 1824. www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk /~history/Mathematicians/Coriolis.html   (824 words)

Coriolis Effect Coriolis effect is an inertial force described by the 19th-century French engineer-mathematician Gustave-Gaspard Coriolis in 1835. Coriolis showed that, if the ordinary Newtonian laws of motion of bodies are to be used in a rotating frame of reference, an inertial force--acting to the right of the direction of body motion for counterclockwise rotation of the reference frame or to the left for clockwise rotation--must be included in the equations of motion. The Coriolis deflection is therefore related to the motion of the object, the motion of the Earth, and the latitude. abyss.uoregon.edu /~js/glossary/coriolis_effect.html   (469 words)

Gustave Coriolis, and the Coriolis effect Gustave Gaspard Coriolis was born in 1792 in Paris of an aristocratic family impoverished by the French Revolution. Coriolis died in 1843 while working on a revision of his book, and he never applied his theory to ocean or atmospheric circulations, nor to its implication on the firing of ballistic missiles. Coriolis regarded the effect he had discovered as the result of a complementary centrifugal force due to the rotation of the frame of reference. www-das.uwyo.edu /~geerts/cwx/notes/chap11/gustave.html   (311 words)

Artillery and Coriolis The apparent deflection of the missile from the straight path between gun and target was explained by Gustave Gaspard Coriolis (a Frenchman born in 1792) as due to the movement of the Earth, and therefore the target, whilst the missile was in flight. Such a Coriolis deflection would be indiscernible amongst the scatter caused by variations of wind strength and temperature, of the force of the explosive, of rifling wear and of the spin of the missile induced by the rifling. In ball sports the Coriolis effect is of negligible importance, relative to the effects of the wind and the spin of the ball. www-das.uwyo.edu /~geerts/cwx/notes/chap11/artillery.html   (433 words)

BBC - h2g2 - Coriolis Force - a Convenient Fiction - A593273 The Coriolis effect - which the Coriolis force is often used to account for - is named after Gustave Gaspard Coriolis (1792-1843), the French mathematician and physicist who first described it in 1835 in a paper entitled On the Equations of Relative Motion of a System of Bodies. Coriolis force is, like centrifugal force, a convenient fiction designed to account for the discrepancy between the normally reliable Newton's first law, and actual experience in rotating frames of reference. The Coriolis force is a theoretical force used to account for the odd behaviour of objects which move far enough in rotating frames of reference. www.bbc.co.uk /dna/h2g2/alabaster/A593273   (1299 words)

ABLE mass flow measurement, coriolis mass flow metering. The Coriolis effect was initially discovered by Gustave Gaspard Coriolis in the 1830’s, and can be explained as the inertial force exerted on an object as a result of movement relative to a rotating frame of reference. The omega tube has a torsional or swinging movement, rather than the bending motion traditionally associated with Coriolis, this allows increased tube wall thickness, which means exceptional resistance to abrasion, operation under high pressures, plus it eliminates the requirement for the secondary containment associated with other element designs. The use of Coriolis force as a technique for liquid and gas mass flow measurement has been firmly established for over 20 years. www.able.co.uk /massflow.htm   (195 words)

Coriolis effect Coriolis, Gustave Gaspard de (1792-1843) (The Hutchinson Encyclopedia) The Coriolis deflection of a body moving toward the north or south results from the fact that the earth's surface is rotating eastward at greater speed near the equator than near the poles, since a point on the equator traces out a larger circle per day than a point on another latitude nearer either pole. Coriolis effect [for G.-G. de Coriolis, a French mathematician], tendency for any moving body on or above the earth's surface, e.g., an ocean current or an artillery round, to drift sideways from its course because of the earth's rotation. www.infoplease.com /ce6/weather/A0813558.html   (419 words)

view_interactive Coriolis effect, the apparent acceleration of a moving body on or near the Earth as a result of the Earth's rotation. The Coriolis Effect alters the paths of projectiles on Earth. An object at the Earth's surface moves faster at the equator--because it is moving through a 25,000-mile (40,000-kilometer) circle in 24 hours--than it does away from the equator, where it travels in a smaller circle in the same 24-hour period. eoascientific.com /campus/earth/multimedia/coriolis/view_interactive   (113 words)

USATODAY.com In 1835, Gustave-Gaspard Coriolis, a French scientist, first described mathematically what's going on, giving his name to the Coriolis force. In simple terms, in the Northern Hemisphere, while the Coriolis force is pushing the wind toward the right, the pressure-gradient force, caused by air pressure differences, is pushing the air toward the center of the area of low pressure, and for various reasons is stronger then the Coriolis force. The face that the Coriolis force is zero at the equator and very week near the equator, explains why tropical cyclones such as hurricanes and typhoons won't form on the equator even though the other factors there, such as warm ocean water, would make them likely. www.usatoday.com /weather/resources/basics/coriolis-understanding.htm   (544 words)

SMHI Gaspard Gustave Coriolis var son till en adelsman som under franska revolutionen kommit på obestånd. Coriolis fann nu att om någon del av maskineriet, förutom att föras runt av rotationen också rör sig relativt denna, så kommer dess bana, och därmed centrifugalkraften, att förändras. Coriolis blev snart engagerad i arbete på att förbättra utbildningen av ingenjörer. www.smhi.se /sgn0102/n0201/coriolis2.htm   (550 words)
