Richardson Number
Richardson number, abbreviated as Ri, a dimensionless number, is the ratio of the buoyancy term to the flow shear term.
Richardson Number formula
\(\large{ f = \frac{ Gr }{ Re^2 } }\) |
Where:
Units | English | Metric |
\(\large{ Ri }\) = Richardson number | \(\large{dimensionless}\) | |
\(\large{ Gr }\) = Grashof number | \(\large{dimensionless}\) | |
\(\large{ Re }\) = Reynolds number | \(\large{dimensionless}\) |
