WORK OR ENERGY UNIT CONVERSIONS
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 |
