Similarity Criteria

 

the necessary conditions for physical similarity of two phenomena—for example, phenomena experienced by an actual object and by a model of it.

The numbers themselves are sometimes called the similarity criteria. Among them are the Mach, Reynolds, Prandtl, Strouhal, Euler, and Froude numbers.
