Dimensional Analysis

In a laboratory experiment using a scaled down model to measure scour at a bridge pier, the Froude number is important. The ratio of the prototype length to the model length is 100...

A liquid fills a horizontal capillary tube whose one end is dipped in a large pool of the liquid. Experiments show that the distance L travelled by the liquid meniscus inside the c...

A liquid fills a horizontal capillary tube whose one end is dipped in a large pool of the liquid. Experiments show that the distance $L$ travelled by the liquid meniscus inside the...

An explosion at time t = 0 releases energy E at the origin in a space filled with a gas of density ρ. Subsequently, a hemispherical blast wave propagates radially outwards as shown...

A phenomenon is modeled using $$n$$ dimensional variables with $$k$$ primary dimensions. The number of non-dimensional variables is
