Examples of rectilinear

  • The effects of permeability heterogeneities on rectilinear displacements with viscosity contrast and density variations are investigated computationally by means of direct numerical simulations.

  • For the nonrectangular sheet, even with four rectilinear edges, five pieces of data are required, and there is no opportunity to reverse the sheet.

  • A common feature of examples presented so far is that they are all cases of various combinations of both translations (rectilinear or circular) and rotations.
