ISRO Technical Assistant Mechanical Question Paper - 2017 with Answer Key

The important dimensionless numbers in fluid mechanics are
1. Reynold’s number
2. Froude’s number
3. Weber’s number
4. Euler’s number
5. Mach’s number or Cauchy’s number

Reynold’s number: Reynold’s number is the ratio of inertia force to the viscous force.

Froude’s number: Froude’s number is the ratio of inertia force to the gravity force.

Weber’s number: Weber’s number is the ratio of inertia force to the surface tension force.

Euler’s number: Euler’s number is the ratio of inertia force to the pressure force.

Mach’s number or Cauchy’s number: Mach’s number or Cauchy’s number is the ratio of inertia force to the elastic force.
