Explanation:

  • Forces encountered in flowing fluids include those due to inertia, viscosity, pressure, gravity, surface tension and compressibility.

These forces can be written as follows:

Reynolds number (Re): 

  • It is defined as the ratio of inertia force to viscous force.

Froude number (Fr): 

  • It is defined as the ratio of inertia force to gravity force.         

Weber number (We): 

  • It is defined as the ratio of the inertia force to surface tension force.

Mach number (M): 

  • It is defined as the ratio of inertia force to velocity of sound.
