Definition

EN

relation between inertial forces and viscous forces in oscillating flows of fluids in pipes, expressed by

W o = R ω / v ; where

R :: is (effective) radius (ISO 80000-3: Space and time) of the pipe,

ω :: is angular frequency (ISO 80000-3: Space and time) of oscillations, and

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

FR

relation entre les forces d'inertie et les forces visqueuses dans le contexte de l'écoulement oscillant de fluides dans des tubes, exprimée par:

W o = R ω / v ; où

R :: est le rayon (effectif) (ISO 80000-3: Space and time) du tube;

ω :: est la vitesse angulaire (ISO 80000-3: Space and time) des oscillations; et

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

Notes

EN

The Womersley number is used for pulsating flows e.g. in blood flow.

FR

Le nombre de Womersley est utilisé pour des écoulements pulsés, par exemple la circulation sanguine.
