capillary number [′kap·ə·ler·ē ‚nəm·bər]

(fluid mechanics)

A dimensionless number associated with a liquid that compares the intensity of liquid viscosity and surface tension, equal to μV/σ, where μ is the viscosity, σ is the surface tension, andVis a fluid velocity such as the deposition velocity on a solid that is drawn out of the liquid.
