An important parameter in fluid flow problems involving thin films is the Weber number (We) which can be expressed in equation form as We=[pv^2L/(omega)] where p is the density of the fluid, v is a velocity, L is a length, and (omega) is the surface tension of the fluid. If the Weber number is dimensionless, what are the dimensions of the surface tension (omega)?

Expert Solution
Step 1 Introduction

In fluid mechanics Several terms comes frequently, For our convenience these termed as single term and it is observed that this are the Diamensionless terms

In fluid mechanics following diamensionless numbers are used 

1) reynolds number

2) Froude number

3) Nusselt number

4) Euler number 

5) Mach number

6) Weber number
