Wave Motion (album)

Wave Motion is the first studio album by American hip hop producer Fat Jon. It was released on Mush Records in 2002.

Wave Motion (journal)

Wave Motion is a peer-reviewed scientific journal publishing papers on the physics of waves – with emphasis on the areas of acoustics, optics, geophysics, seismology, electromagnetic theory, solid and fluid mechanics. Original research articles on analytical, numerical and experimental aspects of wave motion are covered.

Since the journal's establishment in 1979, the editor in chief has been Jan D. Achenbach. In 2011, Andrew N. Norris joined as co-editor in chief, and in 2012 he took over as the sole editor in chief of Jan Achenbach. The journal is published by Elsevier.

Usage examples of "wave motion".

A form of wave motion popularly known as clear-air turbulence occasionally enlivens airplane flights.

It was an arrangement that allowed them to move in a sequence of synchronized jumps, arching their spine so that a wave motion rippled down their dorsal column, each set of legs bounding forward in unison.

But if an ocean wave passes through a more cramped spatial environment, the detailed form of its wave motion will surely be affected by, for example, the depth of the water, the placement and shape of the rocks encountered, the canals through which the water is channeled, and so on.

Not only was periscope observation almost impossible in the heavy seas, but the U-boat itself would be a most unstable firing platform: wave motion is not confined to the surface of the water, the effects can be highly uncomfortable and unstabilising thirty, forty, fifty feet down, and are appreciable, under extreme conditions, at a depth of almost a hundred feet.

It wouldn't be long before the combination of wave motion and the drag of the sea anchor tore the whole stern loose.

Has there been any motion you could distinguish from ordinary wave motion or float oscillation?

Technical discussions of meteorology, wave motion, ship stability, etc.

The wave motion formed nodal points now where rock ex-ploded upward as if bombs had been placed there.

As they watched, a large projectile crashed into the hot fluid, ejecting material from the surface and setting up vigorous wave motion in all directions.

Inside the room Johann and Maria could see a dozen of the adoclynes, a few moving slowly around propelled by wave motion in the hundreds of cilia beneath their bodies.

Another technique that works well at smaller scales is what's called peristaltics, which means moving things by means of an induced wave motion.

On the surface its flat planes were susceptible to the wave motion, and it rocked in the slight chop being kicked up by a freshening breeze.

It moves out inexorably across the face of the sea, until at last the wave motion of the turbulent sea boiling beneath it breaks off chunks of ice, and the new-born icebergs float away.

I'd felt no wave motion in all the time we'd been on board, let alone the subtle accelerations of the journey.
