Acceleration of Coriolis

The acceleration of Coriolis is a term of acceleration which intervenes when one studies the movement of a body moving in a reference frame in Rotation compared to the Référentiel galiléen.

$\ vec {a_C} = 2 \ cdot {\ vec {\ Omega}} _ {R/R_g} \ wedge {\ vec {v}} _ {R/R_g}$

One often makes him correspond a corresponding force fictitious in order to be able to continue to study the body considered in his reference frame in rotation (to simplify the resolution).
