= Blake number
{wiki=Blake_number}
The Blake number is a dimensionless quantity used in the field of fluid mechanics to characterize the flow of fluids in porous media or around bodies. Specifically, it is often used in the context of flow in porous materials, such as in the study of filtration or oil recovery processes. The Blake number is defined as the ratio of the inertial forces to viscous forces acting on the fluid. It is important for understanding the flow regime and how fluid behaves under different conditions.
