3.) The Buckingham Pi Theorem allows one to create dimensionless functions and groups to make data more universally useful. This problem begins with a dimensional function, named f. Its arguments and output are dimensional values. D is the (dimensional) drag force on a body in a flow stream: D= f(p, L, U, v ) Where: p = density, L = a length measurement of the object, U = the velocity of the flow, and v = the kinematic viscosity of the fluid. The goal is to create a dimensionless function, named "G", whose arguments and output will be dimensionless groups, T and T. When creating these groups, let the U and L repeat (i.e., they can show up in both II groups). Clearly show step-by-step the process, as done in class, to obtain the two dimensionless groups.
