Archimedes number

*** Shopping-Tip: Archimedes number
An '''Archimedes number''' (not to be confused with Archimedes '''constant''', pi π), named after the ancient Greek scientist Archimedes, to determine the motion of fluids due to density differences, is a dimensionless number in the form: :$\{\backslash rm\; Ar\}\; =\; \backslash frac\{g\; L^3\; \backslash rho\_\backslash ell\; (\backslash rho\; -\; \backslash rho\_\backslash ell)\}\{\backslash mu^2\}$ where: * ''g'' = gravity gravitational acceleration (9.81 metre m/second s²), * ρ_''l'' = density of the fluid, * ρ = density of the body, * μ = fluid absolute viscosity.
