How to Evaluate Period of Oscillation?

Period of Oscillation evaluator uses Time Period of Oscillations = (Keulegan-Carpenter Number*Length Scale)/Amplitude of Flow Velocity Oscillation to evaluate the Time Period of Oscillations, The Period of oscillation is a repetitious oscillation influencing the amplitude of the object’s velocity, in case of an oscillating object. Time Period of Oscillations is denoted by T symbol.

How to evaluate Period of Oscillation using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Period of Oscillation, enter Keulegan-Carpenter Number (KC), Length Scale (L) & Amplitude of Flow Velocity Oscillation (Vfv) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Period of Oscillation
