Richardson (lunar Crater)
Richardson is a large lunar impact crater located on the Moon's far side, just behind the eastern limb. It lies to the south of the huge walled plain Harkhebi, and to the east-southeast of the crater Vestine. Just to the northeast is Szilard, and to the southeast is Artamonov.

Richardson (1919 Cyclecar)
''For the pre World war I British Richardson cyclecar made in Lincolnshire see Richardson (1903 cyclecar).'' The Richardson was a British cyclecar manufactured by C. E. Richardson of Finbat Works, Aizlewood Road, Sheffield, between 1919 and 1921. Before World War I Richardsons had made children's toys and scooters and were pioneer makers of model aircraft. During the war they had switched production to munitions. With peace it was decided to branch out into cyclecar manufacture and a car was designed by Albert Clarke, the brother-in-law of Charles Richardson. The car was powered by a V-twin, air-cooled engine with a choice of 980 cc JAP or 1090 cc Precision types. Both power units drove through a friction drive A friction drive or friction engine is a type of transmission that utilises two wheels in the transmission to transfer power from the engine to the driving wheels.

Richardson Number
The Richardson number (Ri) is named after Lewis Fry Richardson (1881–1953). It is the dimensionless number that expresses the ratio of the buoyancy term to the flow shear term: : \mathrm = \frac = \frac \frac where g is gravity, \rho is density, u is a representative flow speed, and z is depth. The Richardson number, or one of several variants, is of practical importance in weather forecasting and in investigating density and turbidity currents in oceans, lakes, and reservoirs. When considering flows in which density differences are small (the Boussinesq approximation), it is common to use the reduced gravity ''g' '' and the relevant parameter is the densimetric Richardson number : \mathrm = \frac which is used frequently when considering atmospheric or oceanic flows. If the Richardson number is much less than unity, buoyancy is unimportant in the flow. If it is much greater than unity, buoyancy is dominant (in the sense that there is insufficient kinetic energy to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Richardson Beach
Richardson Beach (also known as Richardson Ocean Park) is a Hawaii County park located just east of Hilo, Hawaii, on the Big Island of Hawaii. Adjacent is the Lele'iwi Beach Park. History The name ''Richardson'' comes from its original owners, Elsa and George Richardson, whose home still stands there. George Richardson was the former Chief Detective of the County of Hawaii, and received the land as a gift of gratitude from the Malo family. In 1920, when the entire Malo family was stricken with typhoid fever, Elena, the least severely afflicted of them all, walked to the home of George Richardson on Reeds Bay to seek help. Richardson, a part-Hawaiian originally from Kohala, regularly fished up and down the Keaukaha coastline in his boat and had become a close friend of David Malo's. When Elena showed up on his doorstep with the terrible news, he immediately put her on board his boat, the fastest means of transportation then available, and returned to the Malo home. There he ga ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
