sphere reynolds number
1Roshko number — In fluid mechanics, the Roshko number is a dimensionless number describing oscillating flow mechanisms. It is given as:: mathit{Ro} = {St} {Re} = {f L^{2}over u} where Ro is the dimensionless Roshko number, St is the dimensionless Strouhal number …
2Nusselt 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… …
3Strouhal number — In dimensional analysis, the Strouhal number is a dimensionless number describing oscillating flow mechanisms. Often, it is given as:: mathrm{Sr}= {f Lover v} where Sr is the dimensionless Strouhal number, f is the frequency of vortex shedding, L …
4Power number — For Newton number, see also Kissing number in the sphere packing problem The power number Np (also known as Newton number) is a commonly used dimensionless number relating the resistance force to the inertia force. The power number has different… …

6Drag (physics) — Shape and flow Form drag Skin friction 0% 100% 10% 90% …
7Drag coefficient — In fluid dynamics, the drag coefficient (commonly denoted as: cd, cx or cw) is a dimensionless quantity that is used to quantify the drag or resistance of an object in a fluid environment such as air or water. It is used in the drag equation,… …
8Oseen's Approximation — In 1910 Carl Wilhelm Oseen proposed Oseen s Approximation to treat problems in which a flow field consists of small disturbance of a constant mean flow. His work was based on the experiments of Navier Stokes. Stokes studied a sphere of radius “a” …
