Dean Number
Dean number is proportional to { (Re . centrifugal force) / (inertial force) } and is used in momentum transfer in general and flow in curved channels calculations in particular. It is normally defined in the following form
Where: |
D |
= |

L |
= |
Length |
mu |
= |
Viscosity |
R |
= |
Radius of curvature of bend |
rho |
= |
Density |
V |
= |
Velocity |
