Question

List the three main methods employed in dimensional analysis

Answer 1

Answer:

Rayleigh method, The Buckingham π Theorem, common pi group

Explanation:

Rayleigh method - The Rayleigh method is a basic technique for discovering a functional relationship in reference to a parameter of interest.

The dimensional analysis method describes a functional relationship between certain variables in context of an exponential equation

The Buckingham π Theorem The theorem notes that if a factor A1 relies on independent variable i.e. A2, A3,.  An, functional bond can then be set to zero in the form f(A1, A2, A3,.–, An)= 0. If all these n parameters can be defined as m dimensional units, the pi (π) theorem states that they are grouped in respect of n-m dimensional.

There are some common pi group method which are based on Buckingham π theorem.

They are named as froude number, Reynold's number, weber number etc.
