Project ForgeMatch the following flow types with their characteristic dimensionless number. Flow Type — P: Compressible flow, Q: Free surface flow, R: Boundary layer flow, S: Pipe flow, T: Heat convection. Number — U: Reynolds number, V: Nusselt number, W: Weber number, X: Froude number, Y: Mach number, Z: Skin friction coefficient.

Explanation
Compressible flow is characterized by the Mach number (P-Y). Boundary layer flow is characterized by the skin friction coefficient (R-Z). Pipe flow is characterized by the Reynolds number (S-U). Heat convection is characterized by the Nusselt number (T-V). Free surface flow's identifying number here is the Weber number (Q-W), matching the surface-tension/free-surface-interface effects that number captures.
