Dimensional analysis is the basis for the determination of
laws that allow the experimental results obtained on a
model to be transposed to the fluid system at full scale (a
prototype). The similarity in fluid mechanics then allows for
better redefinition of the analysis by removing
dimensionless elements.
This book deals with these two tools, with a focus on the
Rayleigh method and the Vaschy-Buckingham method. It
deals with the homogeneity of the equations and the
conversion between the systems of units SI and CGS, and
presents the dimensional analysis approach, before
addressing the similarity of flows.
Dimensional Analysis and Similarity in Fluid Mechanics
proposes a scale model and presents numerous exercises
combining these two methods. It is accessible to students
from their first year of a bachelor s degree.
