Archimedes Number Equation and Calculator

In viscous fluid dynamics, the Archimedes number (Ar), is a dimensionless number used to determine the motion of fluids due to density differences.

Eq. 1

Ar = [ g L³ ρ₁ (ρ - ρ_l ) ] / µ²

Where:

g = Local External Field (For Example Gravitational Acceleration) (m/s²)
ρ₁ = Density of the Fluid (kg/m³)
ρ = Density of the Body (kg/m³)
µ = Dynamic Viscosity (kg/(s-m))
L = Characteristic Length of Body (m)
Ar: Archimedes Number (dimensionless)
