In geometry, a paraboloid is a quadric surface that has exactly one axis of symmetry and no center of symmetry. The term "paraboloid" is derived from...

A parabolic (or paraboloid or paraboloidal) reflector (or dish or mirror) is a reflective surface used to collect or project energy such as light, sound...

inscribed paraboloid. Therefore, the volume of the flipped paraboloid is equal to the volume of the cylinder part outside the inscribed paraboloid. In other...

surfaces in the Euclidean space are second order surfaces, the hyperbolic paraboloid z = x 2 − y 2 {\displaystyle z=x^{2}-y^{2}} (which is often referred to...

surface dimpled in the w direction according to the equation (Flamm's paraboloid) w = 2 r s ( r − r s ) . {\displaystyle w=2{\sqrt {r_{\mathrm {s} }\left(r-r_{\mathrm...

there are two distinct lines that lie on the surface. The hyperbolic paraboloid and the hyperboloid of one sheet are doubly ruled surfaces. The plane...

paraboloid domes have circular bases and horizontal sections and are a type of "circular dome" for that reason. Because of their shape, paraboloid domes...

contain circles except parabolic and hyperbolic cylinders and hyperbolic paraboloids. If a quadric contains a circle, then every intersection of the quadric...

free surface will assume a parabolic surface of revolution known as a paraboloid. The free surface at each point is at a right angle to the force acting...
