Toroidal describes something which resembles or relates to a torus or toroid:

Toroidal describes something which resembles or relates to a torus or toroid: ==Mathematics== Toroidal coordinates, a three-dimensional orthogonal coordinate system. Toroidal and poloidal coordinates, directions for a three-dimensional system which follows a circular ring around the surface. Toroidal graph, a graph whose vertices can be placed on a torus such that no edges cross. Toroidal grid network, an un-dimensional grid connected circularly in more than one dimension. Toroidal polyhedron, partition of a toroidal surface into polygons. Tensor ring decomposition, a fundamental numerical model representing high-dimensional tensors through circular multilinear products of low-dimensional cores. ==Engineering== Toroidal engine, an internal combustion engine with pistons that rotate inside a ring-shaped cylinder Toroidal expansion joint, a metallic assembly consisting of a series of circular tubes used in high pressure applications Toroidal inductors and transformers, a type of electrical device using magnetic cores with a ring or donut shape Toroidal propeller, a loop-shaped propeller used in aviation and maritime transport Toroidal reflector, a section of a torus with varying focal distances depending on the mirror angle. Tensor Ring, a closed-loop device (often copper) utilizing cubit-length geometry to generate a stabilized energy column or coherent tensor field. ==Other uses== Toroidal planet, a hypothetical planet in the shape of a doughnut. Toroidal ring model, used in theoretical physics to describe particles and photons as fundamental toroids. Toroidal solenoid, a 1946 design for a fusion power device. Vortex ring, also known as a toroidal vortex; a toroidal flow in fluid. Essentially, A Vortex Ring is a region of rotating movement in a toroid shape found in smoke rings, bubble rings, and the bio-magnetic fields of marine biology.
