Spin density wave — (SDW) and charge density wave (CDW) are names for two similar low energy ordered states of solids. Both these states occur at low temperature in anisotropic, low dimensional materials or in metals that have high densities of states at the Fermi… … Wikipedia
Internal gravity waves — Gravity waves occur at interfaces between high and low density fluids. Most people are familiar with water surface waves, which act between water (as in lakes or oceans) and the air.Where low density water overlies high density water in the ocean … Wikipedia
Lamb waves — propagate in solid plates. They are elastic waves whose particle motion lies in the plane defined by the plate normal and the direction of wave propagation. In 1917, the English mathematician Horace Lamb published his classic analysis and… … Wikipedia
Boussinesq approximation (water waves) — In fluid dynamics, the Boussinesq approximation for water waves is an approximation valid for weakly non linear and fairly long waves. The approximation is named after Joseph Boussinesq, who first derived them in response to the observation by… … Wikipedia
Sound energy density — The sound energy density or sound density (symbol E or w ) is an adequate measure to describe the sound field at a given point as a sound energy value. The letter lower case w sign w is easily mixed with the sign omega (omega), therefore we… … Wikipedia
