The Baldwin–Lomax model is a mathematical model used in fluid dynamics to predict the behavior of turbulent flows, particularly in the context of boundary layer flows over surfaces. This model specifically addresses the turbulence characteristics in boundary layers, which are layers of fluid in close proximity to a solid surface where viscous effects are significant. The Baldwin–Lomax model is notable for its simplicity and its semi-empirical nature, meaning it combines theoretical concepts with empirical data to provide closure to the turbulence equations.
Barrier function 1970-01-01
A barrier function is a concept commonly used in optimization, particularly in the context of constrained optimization problems. Barrier functions help to modify the optimization problem so that the constraints are incorporated into the objective function, allowing for easier handling of constraints during the optimization process. The main idea is to add a penalty to the objective function that becomes increasingly large as the solution approaches the boundaries of the feasible region defined by the constraints.
Basic solution (linear programming) 1970-01-01
In the context of linear programming, a **basic solution** refers to a specific type of solution obtained from the standard form of a linear programming problem, which can be solved using methods such as the Simplex algorithm. When linear programming problems are formulated, they are often represented in a tableau, where the solution is represented as a combination of basic and non-basic variables.
Basis pursuit 1970-01-01
Basis Pursuit is an optimization technique used in the field of signal processing and compressed sensing, primarily for recovering sparse signals from limited or incomplete measurements. The fundamental idea behind Basis Pursuit is to express a signal as a linear combination of basis functions and to find the representation that uses the fewest non-zero coefficients, thereby focusing on the sparsest solution.
