Bernoulli's Equation & Flow
GATE 2020
Easy
Froude number is the ratio of
- Abuoyancy forces to viscous forces
- Binertia forces to viscous forces
- Cbuoyancy forces to inertia forces
- inertia forces to gravity forces
Explanation
The Froude number Fr = V/√(gL) compares inertia forces to gravity forces, and governs free-surface/open-channel flow phenomena such as wave and hydraulic-jump behaviour.
