Hi guys
In fluids and sediment transport, we have a lot of dimensionless variables: Group 1 focusing majorly on particle characteristics: particle Reynolds number = f(settling velocity, particle diameter) densimetric Froude number = f(particle relative density, diameter) shields parameter = f(particle relative density, diameter) Group 2 focusing on bulk or global flow variables: Reynolds number = f(flow velocity, hydraulic radius) Froude number = f(flow velocity, flow depth) So my question is: Is there any non-dimensional parameter which combines both the particle and global flow variables, such that it is a function of all 4 variables: f(particle relative density, particle diameter, flow velocity, flow depth)? Any views.. Thanks a lot. |
