Characteristic Length in Dimensionless groups Formulas

Characteristic Length is a length scale used in fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and other fields of engineering and physics to define a dimension that characterizes the size of an object or system. And is denoted by L_c. Characteristic Length is usually measured using the Meter for Length. Note that the value of Characteristic Length is always positive.
