14Nusselt number — In heat transfer at a boundary (surface) within a fluid, the Nusselt number is the ratio of convective to conductive heat transfer across (normal to) the boundary. Named after Wilhelm Nusselt, it is a dimensionless number. The conductive… …
15Taylor number — In fluid dynamics, the Taylor number is a dimensionless quantity that characterizes the importance of centrifugal forces or so called inertial forces due to rotation of a fluid about a vertical axis, relative to viscous forces. The typical… …
16Chandrasekhar number — The Chandrasekhar number is a dimensionless quantity used in magnetic convection to represent ratio of the Lorentz force to the viscosity. It is named after the Indian astrophysicist Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar. The number s main function is as a… …
17Grashof number — The Grashof number mathrm{Gr} is a dimensionless number in fluid dynamics and Heat Transfer which approximates the ratio of the buoyancy to viscous force acting on a fluid. It frequently arises in the study of situations involving natural… …
