Grashof number
The Grashof number is a dimensionless number in fluid dynamics which approximates the ratio of the buoyancy force to the viscous force acting on a fluid.
Where:
- g = gravity
- β = volumetric thermal expansion coefficient
- Ts = source temperature
- Tinf = quiescent temperature
- L = characteristic length
- ν = kinematic viscosity
