Examples of elliptical

• Elliptical patterns indicate domalbasinal structures with synclastic curvature, that is, principal curvatures of the same sign.

• Figure 5 depicts the maximum wave amplitude around the coast of an elliptical island whose major axis is twice the minor axis.

• However, the approximate elliptical vortices become elongated to an arbitrarily great extent in this limit, whereas the actual solutions do not.

• The other case is an elliptical sheet, $x2+ y2 = 1, enclosing a stagnant core.

• During periodic sloshing, the air core sustained shape transformations, assuming an elliptical crosssection a t the end, and then collapsed forming a pair of vortices.

• The local variations in the strain field around a vortex disturb the vortex, preventing it from retaining a simple, elliptical shape.

• The rate a t which the instability destroys the elliptical solution is, however, very slow as figure 17 illustrates.

• They are elliptical, flattened, of a light yellowish green colour and measure 1-6 mm. in length, and hatch after seven to nine days.
