A spiral loop is a shape or path that curves around a central point while moving outward or inward, like a spiral. In Japanese, this concept is expressed using words for 'spiral' and 'loop' combined, or by describing the shape itself.
Describing a physical object or shape that forms a spiral loop, such as a spring, coil, or spiral binding.
A direct compound of 'spiral' (螺旋) and 'loop' (ループ). Used in technical or descriptive contexts for a loop that follows a spiral path.
この螺旋ループの形状は、バネに似ている。
The shape of this spiral loop resembles a spring.
Literally 'spiral-shaped ring/loop'. A descriptive phrase that clearly conveys the idea of a loop in a spiral form.
針金で螺旋状の輪を作った。
I made a spiral loop out of wire.
Uses 'whirlpool' (渦巻き) for spiral, giving a more dynamic or fluid connotation. Less common for static objects.
渦巻きループの模様が描かれている。
A spiral loop pattern is drawn.
Describing a movement or trajectory that forms a spiral loop, such as a roller coaster or a flight path.
Means 'a loop that draws a spiral'. Emphasizes the action of forming a spiral path.
飛行機が螺旋を描くループを描いた。
The airplane traced a spiral loop.
Technical term for 'spiral loop trajectory'. Used in physics or engineering contexts.
粒子は螺旋状のループ軌道を描く。
The particle traces a spiral loop trajectory.
Referring to a programming construct where a loop iterates in a spiral pattern, e.g., traversing a matrix spirally.
Means 'spiral loop processing'. Used in algorithmic contexts to describe iterating in a spiral order.
このアルゴリズムは螺旋ループ処理で行列を走査する。
