Flank (anatomy) Surface lines of the front of the thorax and abdomen. (Latus labeled as "lumbar".) The flank or latus is the side of the body between the rib cage and the iliac bone of the hip (below the rib cage and above the ilium). [1] It is sometimes called the lumbar region.
Rear flank downdraft. The rear flank downdraft ( RFD) is a region of dry air wrapping around the back of a mesocyclone in a supercell thunderstorm. [1] These areas of descending air are thought to be essential in the production of many supercellular tornadoes. Large hail within the rear flank downdraft often shows up brightly as a hook on ...
For example, the most economic speed of the Littoral combat ship is 20 knots (37 km/h; 23 mph) providing a range of 4,300 nautical miles (8,000 km; 4,900 mi), ( Global Security: LCS specs) and endurance of 215 hours. This ship has a flank speed of 50 knots (93 km/h; 58 mph) but can travel only 1,500 nautical miles (2,800 km; 1,700 mi) at flank ...
where is the Boltzmann constant, is the Planck constant, and is the speed of light in the medium, whether material or vacuum. The spectral radiance of a body, , describes the amount of energy it emits at different radiation frequencies. It is the power emitted per unit area of the body, per unit solid angle of emission, per unit frequency.
Tornadogenesis. A sequence of images showing the birth of a supercellular tornado. First, the rain-free cloud base lowers as a rotating wall cloud. This lowering concentrates into a funnel cloud, which continues descending simultaneously as a circulation builds near the surface, kicking up dust and other debris.

Named in honor of Commodore William Bainbridge, she was the fourth US Navy ship to bear the name. With her original hull classification symbol of DLGN (nuclear-powered ...
Tool wear. In machining, tool wear is the gradual failure of cutting tools due to regular operation. Tools affected include tipped tools, tool bits, and drill bits that are used with machine tools . Types of wear include: flank wear in which the portion of the tool in contact with the finished part erodes. Can be described using the Tool Life ...
