Twist (mathematics)
In mathematics (differential geometry) twist is the rate of rotation of a smooth ribbon around the space curve X=X(s), where s is the arc-length of X and U=U(s) a unit vector perpendicular at each point to X. Since the ribbon (X,U) has edges X and X'=X+\varepsilon U the twist (or ''total twist number'') Tw measures the average winding of the curve X' around
and along the curve X. According to Love (1944) twist is defined by
: Tw = \dfrac \int \left( \dfrac \times U \right) \cdot \dfrac ds \; ,
where dX/ds is the unit tangent vector to X.
The total twist number Tw can be decomposed (Moffatt & Ricca 1992) into ''normalized total torsion'' T and ''intrinsic twist'' N, that is
: Tw = \dfrac \int \tau \; ds + \dfrac = T+N \; ,
where \tau=\tau(s) is the torsion of the space curve X, and \left(\Theta \right )_X denotes the total rotation angle of U along X. The total twist number Tw depends on the choice of the vector field U (Banchoff & White 1975).
When the ribbon is deformed so as to pass through an ''inflectional state'' (i.e. X has a point of inflection) torsion becomes singular, but its singularity is integrable (Moffatt & Ricca 1992) and Tw remains continuous. This behavior has many important consequences for energy considerations in many fields of science.
Together with the writhe Wr of X, twist is a geometric quantity that plays an important role in the application of the Călugăreanu–White–Fuller formula Lk = Wr + Tw in topological fluid dynamics (for its close relation to kinetic and magnetic helicity of a vector field), physical knot theory, and structural complexity analysis.
