0 the state of being curved or bent: --
a pronounced curvature of the spine
the curvature of the earth's surface
1 the state of being curved or bent, or the way in which something curves: --
the curvature of the earth
Peaks of the curvature function correspond to the corners of the represented curve and their height depends on the angle at these corners.
The analysis of the test inter ferogram is complicated by the presence of fringe curvature also in absence of the plasma.
Due to the curvature of the virtual wall, the wider cell becomes more divergent.
Virtual character lines are even more strongly related to the surface curvature behavior.
Second, the curvatures of the profiles are also quite different.
The (mean) curvature is considered to be located at the vertices.
One complete set of measurements was made upstream of curvature in the unperturbed boundary layer, and this constituted a reference set.
Indeed, in the approximation of the curvature leading to (17) we disregarded dfo/dx in comparison with unity.
