Question

Froude number is the ratio of

Options :

  1. buoyancy forces to inertia forces

  2. inertia forces to viscous forces

  3. buoyancy forces to inertia forces

  4. inertia forces to gravity forces

Show Answer

Answer :

inertia forces to gravity forces

Solution :

Froude number is the ratio of inertial force to the gravitation force.

Froude     number =       Inertia force      Gravitational force     

Froude number has the following applications :

- Used in cases of river flows, open-channel flows, spillways, surface wave motion created by boats.

- It can be used for flow classification
