Stokes number

Input(s)

τ\tau: Relaxation Time of the Particle (s)

Uo: Fluid Velocity of the Flow Well away from the Obstacle (m/s)(\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s})

dc: Characteristic Dimension of the Obstacle (m)

Output(s)

Stk: Stokes Number (dimensionless)

Formula(s)

Stk=τUodc\mathrm{Stk}=\tau * \frac{\mathrm{Uo}}{\mathrm{dc}}
