Extract

The Familiar process of dimensional analysis for aerodynamics equates a force to a function of several variables liable to affect it, in terms of the dimensions M, L, T, and yields the numbers known as the Reynolds number and the Mach number of the flow. These numbers are generally regarded as useful and sufficient means of denoting the regimes of flow in conventional circumstances, where the force developed on a body results solely from the relative motion between the body and a mass of fluid.
