Abstract

[This chapter presents the principles of dimensional analysis and the similarity method. Section 5.1 introduces basic aspects of dimensional analysis such as the definition ofIIi ratios and Vashi-Buckingham’s theorem. The practical utility of dimensional analysis is then emphasized using the determination of head loss in a cylindrical pipe as an example. Indeed, dimensional analysis is a necessary step in the analysis of any physical problem [63].]
