Dean Number

Dean Number is a dimensionless criterion in fluid dynamics that characterizes the onset of secondary flow patterns in curved pipes or channels, derived as the ratio of centrifugal forces to viscous forces, distinguishing it from other dimensionless numbers by its specific application to flow in curved geometries.
