Knudsen Number

The Knudsen Number is a dimensionless quantity in fluid dynamics defined as the ratio of the molecular mean free path length to a representative physical length scale, used to characterize the degree of rarefaction of a gas flow and distinguish between continuum and free molecular flow regimes.
