Stokes number 2 [′stōks ¦nəm·bər ′tü]

(engineering)

A dimensionless number used in the calibration of rotameters, equal to 1.042m_fgρ (1 - ρ/ρ_f)R³/μ², where ρ and μ are the density and dynamic viscosity of the fluid respectively,m_fand ρ_fare the mass and density of the float respectively, andRis the ratio of the radius of the tube to the radius of the float. SymbolSt₂.
