The Hagen number, often denoted as \( Ha \), is a dimensionless number used in fluid dynamics and transport phenomena. It characterizes the relative importance of inertial effects to viscous effects in fluid flow. The Hagen number is defined as the ratio of the gravitational force to the viscous force, and it is particularly relevant in the study of fluid behavior in porous media and in the analysis of fluid flow in channels.
