When a liquid in a beaker is stired, whirlpool will form and there will be an elevation
difference h, between the center of the liquid surface and the rim of the liquid surface.
Apply the method of repeating variables to generate a dimensional relationship for
elevation difference (h), angular velocity (@) of the whirlpool, fluid density (p).
gravitational acceleration (2), and radius (R) of the container. Take o. pand R as the
repeating variables.
When fluid in a pipe is accelerated linearly from rest, it begins as laminar flow andthen undergoes transition to turbulence at a time ttr which depends upon the pipe diameter D,fluid acceleration a, density ρ, and viscosity µ. Arrange this into a dimensionless relationbetween ttr and D.
