Weber number
Weber number
(OP)
The weber number equals to density x velocity^2 x diameter/surface tension. Could someone please tell if this density is of the droplet or the fluid surrounding the droplet. Also what is the unit of the surface tension in this calculation?
Thanks
Thanks

Could you explain if possible?
RE: Weber number
In terms of usefulness I must wonder exactly how someone assigns a droplet diameter when in real flows that parameter varies a couple of orders of magnitude from one end of a pipe to the other, but when you're making crap up (like you must do to determine a droplet size) I guess it is OK to make up whatever you want.
