Froude Number
Froude number is proportional to { (inertial force) / (gravitational force) } and is used in momentum transfer in general and open channel flow and wave and surface behavior calculations in particular. It is normally defined in one of the following forms

Where: | ||
a | = | Acceleration |
g | = | Gravitational acceleration |
L | = | Characteristic length |
V | = | Velocity |
