Transverse may refer to:
  • Transversality
    Transversality
    In mathematics, transversality is a notion that describes how spaces can intersect; transversality can be seen as the "opposite" of tangency, and plays a role in general position. It formalizes the idea of a generic intersection in differential topology...

    , a concept related to the intersection of manifold
    Manifold
    In mathematics , a manifold is a topological space that on a small enough scale resembles the Euclidean space of a specific dimension, called the dimension of the manifold....

  • Transverse engine
    Transverse engine
    A transverse engine is an engine mounted in a vehicle so that the engine's crankshaft axis is perpendicular to the long axis of the vehicle. Many modern front wheel drive vehicles use this engine mounting configuration...

    , an engine in which the crankshaft is oriented side-to-side relative to the wheels of the vehicle
  • Transverse flute
    Transverse flute
    A transverse flute or side-blown flute is a flute which is held horizontally when played. The player blows "across" the embouchure hole, in a direction perpendicular to the flute's body length....

    , a flute that is held horizontally
  • Transverse plane
    Transverse plane
    The transverse plane is an imaginary plane that divides the body into superior and inferior parts. It is perpendicular to the coronal and sagittal planes....

    , the plane orthogonal to the anteroposterior or oral-aboral axis; see Anatomical terms of location
    Anatomical terms of location
    Standard anatomical terms of location are designations employed in science that deal with the anatomy of animals to avoid ambiguities that might otherwise arise. They are not language-specific, and thus require no translation...

  • Transverse wave
    Transverse wave
    A transverse wave is a moving wave that consists of oscillations occurring perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer...

    , a wave that causes a disturbance in the medium perpendicular to the direction it advances
  • Transverse LLC, a provider of open source software and services for billing and operations support systems (B/OSS) for the telecom industry
  • Transverse rotors
    Transverse rotors
    Transverse rotor rotorcraft have two large horizontal rotor assemblies mounted side by side.Single rotor helicopters need a tail rotor to neutralize the twisting moment produced by the single large rotor. Tandem rotor helicopters, however, use counter-rotating rotors, with each canceling out the...

    , a type of rotorcraft
    Rotorcraft
    A rotorcraft or rotary wing aircraft is a heavier-than-air flying machine that uses lift generated by wings, called rotor blades, that revolve around a mast. Several rotor blades mounted to a single mast are referred to as a rotor. The International Civil Aviation Organization defines a rotorcraft...

     in which there are two rotors mounted side by side.
  • Transverse mass
    Transverse mass
    The transverse mass is a useful quantity to define for use in particle physics as it is invariant under Lorentz boost along the z direction. In natural units it is:Hadron collider physicists use another definition of transverse mass, in the case of a decay into two particles:-References: - See...

    , a particle physics quantity.
