About the mathematician Euler or things named after him
  • adjective
  • /ˌɔɪˈlɪəriən/
  • Specialized
: euleriano
  • To fully understand the motion of the system, one must calculate the Eulerian angles related to its orientation.

Examples

  • First, a rotation search yields two Eulerian angles for the NCS axis of the molecular envelope.

    Academic text (2006)

  • Knowledge of the NCS-axis orientation reduces the 6D search to a 4D search for a third Eulerian angle and three translation parameters.

    Academic text (2006)

  • You get a centripetal term and an Eulerian term that come out of that.

  • The study of complex networks often involves Eulerian paths, which visit every edge exactly once.

  • In physics, Eulerian frames are useful for analyzing fluid dynamics by observing the flow at fixed points.

Morphology

Eulerian = Euler (transparent) = Euler + ian

Standard adjectival formation from a proper name; 'Eulerian' denotes relation to Euler or concepts named for him.

Etymology

Eulerian is named after the mathematician Euler, much like 'Newtonian' is named after Newton, so it means 'of or about Euler'. That is why we call paths, equations and methods that come from his work 'Eulerian'.
