Definition

EN

quotient of viscous forces and Coriolis forces in the context of transfer of matter for the flow of a rotating fluid, expressed by

E k = v / ( 2 l 2 ω E sin φ ) ; where

v :: is kinematic viscosity (ISO 80000-4: Mechanics),

l :: is characteristic length (ISO 80000-3: Space and time), the scale of the phenomenon,

ω E :: is angular frequency (ISO 80000-3: Space and time) of the Earth's rotation, and

φ :: is angle of latitude

FR

quotient des forces visqueuses par les forces de Coriolis dans le contexte d'un transfert de matière pour l'écoulement d'un fluide en rotation, exprimé par:

E k = v / ( 2 l 2 ω E sin φ ) ; où

v :: est la viscosité cinématique (ISO 80000-4: Mechanics);

l :: est la longueur caractéristique (ISO 80000-3: Space and time), l'échelle du phénomène;

ω E :: est la fréquence angulaire (ISO 80000-3: Space and time) de rotation de la Terre; et

φ :: est l'angle de latitude

Notes

EN

In plasma physics, the square root of this number is used.

The Ekman number is also given by

E k = R o / R e ; where

R o :: is the Rossby number (Rossby number), and

R e :: is the Reynolds number (Reynolds number).

FR

La racine carrée de ce nombre est utilisée en physique des plasmas.

Le nombre d'Ekman est également donné par:

E k = R o / R e ; où

R o :: est le nombre de Rossby (Rossby number); et

R e :: est le nombre de Reynolds (Reynolds number).
