Shear Velocity

Shear Velocity is a dimensionless kinematic parameter in fluid mechanics that characterizes the frictional stress at a boundary by relating the local shear stress to the fluid density, specifically defined as the square root of the ratio of bed shear stress to fluid density, serving to scale velocity profiles in turbulent flow near boundaries.
