Taylor Number
Tayor number, abbreviated as Ta, a dimensionless number, is the quantity that characterizes the importance of centrifugal forces due to the rotation of a fluid about an axis, relative to viscous forces.
Taylor Number formula
\(\large{ Ta = \frac{ 4 \; \Omega^2 \; r^4 }{ \nu^2 } }\) |
Where:
\(\large{ Ta }\) = Taylor number
\(\large{ \Omega }\) (Greek symbol Omega) = characteristic angular velocity
\(\large{ r }\) = characteristic linear dimension perpendicular to the rotation axis
\(\large{ \nu }\) (Greek symbol nu) = kinematic viscosity
