1. Having symmetry about an axis; symmetric with respect to rotation around a central axis.
Usage: technical; mathematics and physics

Examples

• The engineer designed an axisymmetrical turbine blade to ensure balanced rotation.
• An axisymmetrical object looks the same when rotated around its central axis.
• The problem assumes an axisymmetrical distribution of stress in the cylinder.
• Spheres and cones are examples of axisymmetrical shapes.
• The fluid flow pattern was axisymmetrical around the pipe's centerline.
