These authors further concluded that species which regularly encounter higher angular head accelerations during locomotion require more orthogonal canals in order to have more uniform sensitivity to
angular accelerations in three dimensions.
Bubbles.mat uses both the orientation and radius of curvature of the six semicircular canals to calculate estimated sensitivity of the vestibular system to
angular accelerations in three dimensions.

We study a modiied version of the well known Markov - Dubins problem,
in which the control is
angular acceleration rather than
angular velocity.
Here we have shown that the degree to which semicircular canals approach orthogonality is correlated with mean estimated sensitivity to
angular accelerations, and that mean sensitivity
in turn is solely determined by canal radius of curvature.
The vestibular system, through the stimulus - response of the hair cells
in the semicircular canals, reacts to
angular acceleration and deceleration.
Because contraction of the vortex tends to require faster rotation (conservation of
angular momentum), which increases centrifugal
acceleration, which opposes contraction, it becomes hard for air to flow
in sideways to take the space of warmer air that is rising when the air is spinning; thus, a rising column of air can pull up on air from below.
You can see a term for the time - rate of change
in velocity, a term for coriolis
acceleration (involving the cross-product between velocity and earth's
angular velocity), a term for the
acceleration due to a pressure gradient, and a term due to gravity's
acceleration.
I am well versed
in transducer technology to measure strain, deflection, force, pressure, temperature,
acceleration, velocity, and
angular rates.
