Consider viscous flow over a very small object. Analysis of the equations of motion shows that the
Question:
(a) Apply the Pi theorem to two-dimensional drag force F2-D as a function of the other parameters. Be careful: two-dimensional drag has dimensions of force per unit length, not simply force. (b) Is your analysis in part (a) physically plausible? If not, explain why not.
(c) It turns out that fluid density ρ cannot be neglected in analysis of creeping flow over two-dimensional bodies. Repeat the dimensional analysis, this time including ρ as a variable, and find the resulting non-dimensional relation between the parameters in this problem.
