  2. Dynamic similarity (Reynolds and Womersley numbers)

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_similarity...

    The Reynolds and Womersley Numbers are also used to calculate the thicknesses of the boundary layers that can form from the fluid flow’s viscous effects. The Reynolds number is used to calculate the convective inertial boundary layer thickness that can form, and the Womersley number is used to calculate the transient inertial boundary thickness that can form.

  3. Kolmogorov microscales - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolmogorov_microscales

    where ε is the average rate of dissipation of turbulence kinetic energy per unit mass, and; ν is the kinematic viscosity of the fluid.; Typical values of the Kolmogorov length scale, for atmospheric motion in which the large eddies have length scales on the order of kilometers, range from 0.1 to 10 millimeters; for smaller flows such as in laboratory systems, η may be much smaller.

  4. Sample size determination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_size_determination

    For B = 10% one requires n = 100, for B = 5% one needs n = 400, for B = 3% the requirement approximates to n = 1000, while for B = 1% a sample size of n = 10000 is required. These numbers are quoted often in news reports of opinion polls and other sample surveys. However, the results reported may not be the exact value as numbers are preferably ...

  5. Knudsen number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knudsen_number

    The Knudsen number is a dimensionless number defined as =, where = mean free path [L 1], = representative physical length scale [L 1].. The representative length scale considered, , may correspond to various physical traits of a system, but most commonly relates to a gap length over which thermal transport or mass transport occurs through a gas phase.

    Perpendicular distance between repeating units of a wave m L: Wavenumber: k: Repetency or spatial frequency: the number of cycles per unit distance m −1: L −1: scalar Work: W: Transferred energy joule (J) L 2 M T −2: scalar Young's modulus: E: Ratio of stress to strain pascal (Pa = N/m 2) L −1 M T −2: scalar; assumes isotropic linear ...

  7. McFarland standards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McFarland_standards

    A 0.5 McFarland standard is prepared by mixing 0.05 mL of 1.175% barium chloride dihydrate (BaCl 2 •2H 2 O), with 9.95 mL of 1% sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4). [ 1 ] Now there are McFarland standards prepared from suspensions of latex particles, which lengthens the shelf life and stability of the suspensions.

  8. Number of Identified Specimens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_Identified_Specimens

    This is the number of glass pieces and the number of samples to hold the glass panes, which was subsequently identified as the number of glass pieces. [16] After calculating the number of cuts, the results were analyzed and reported as a percentage of the total NISP with observed cuts (%NISPcut) or as a percentage of the total MNC with observed ...

  9. Rossby number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rossby_number

    For example, in tornadoes, the Rossby number is large (≈ 10 3), in low-pressure systems it is low (≈ 0.1–1), and in oceanic systems it is of the order of unity, but depending on the phenomena can range over several orders of magnitude (≈ 10 −2 –10 2). [4]
