Keulegan–Carpenter number
ID: keulegan-carpenter-number
The Keulegan–Carpenter number (often abbreviated as KC number) is a dimensionless parameter used in fluid dynamics and wave mechanics to characterize the oscillatory motion of structures and bodies placed in oscillating fluid flows, such as those caused by waves or tides. It helps in understanding the interaction between the fluid motion and the body immersed in it.
