CHAPTER 2 FLOW PAST A SPHERE I: DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS, REYNOLDS NUMBERS, AND FROUDE NUMBERS
INTRODUCTION the natural environment and in the world of technology, and it serves as a good reference case for extension to more complicated situations, involving unsteady flows and/or nonuniform flows and/or nonspherical bodies. It is also an excellent starting point for development of a number of important principles and techniques that are essential for later development in these notes. In particular, I hope to be able to convince you of the importance and utility of careful dimensional reasoning ab
