WHAT DOES TORUS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Torus

In geometry, a torus is a surface of revolution generated by revolving a circle in three-dimensional space about an axis coplanar with the circle. If the axis of revolution does not touch the circle, the surface has a ring shape and is called a ring torus or simply torus if the ring shape is implicit. When the axis is tangent to the circle, the resulting surface is called a horn torus; when the axis is a chord of the circle, it is called a spindle torus. A degenerate case is when the axis is a diameter of the circle, which simply generates a 2-sphere. The ring torus bounds a solid known as a toroid. The adjective toroidal can be applied to tori, toroids or, more generally, any ring shape as in toroidal inductors and transformers. Real-world examples of toroidal objects include doughnuts, vadais, inner tubes, bagels, many lifebuoys, O-rings and vortex rings. In topology, a ring torus is homeomorphic to the Cartesian product of two circles: S1 × S1, and the latter is taken to be the definition in that context. It is a compact 2-manifold of genus 1.

Definition of torus in the English dictionary

The first definition of torus in the dictionary is Also called: tore. a large convex moulding approximately semicircular in cross section, esp one used on the base of a classical column. Other definition of torus is a ring-shaped surface generated by rotating a circle about a coplanar line that does not intersect the circle. Area: 4π²Rr; volume: 2π² Rr², where r is the radius of the circle and R is the distance from the line to the centre of the circle. Torus is also a ridge, fold, or similar linear elevation.
