Archimedes Number
Archimedes number is proportional to { (gravitational force) / (viscous force) } and is used in momentum transfer in general and buoyancy, fluidization, and motion due to density difference calculations in particular. It is normally defined in the following form :
Where: |
g |
= |
Gravitational acceleration |
L |
= |
Characteristic length |
mu |
= |
Viscosity |
rho_f |
= |
Fluid density |
rho_s |
= |
Solid density |
