Darcy number
In
Darcy friction factor which applies to pressure
drop in a pipe. It is defined as
where
- K is the SIunits: m2);
- d is the characteristic length, e.g. the diameter of the particle (SI units: m).[1]
Alternative forms of this number do exist depending on the approach by which Darcy's Law is made dimensionless and the geometry of the system.[2] The Darcy number is commonly used in heat transfer through porous media.[3]
