Weber Number Formula Elements

Variables
Weber Number
The Weber number is defined as the dimensionless number of ratio of inertial force to surface tension force.
Symbol: We
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Density
Density of a material shows the denseness of that material in a specific given area. This is taken as mass per unit volume of a given object.
Symbol: ρ
Measurement: DensityUnit: kg/m³
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Velocity of Fluid
Velocity of Fluid is a vector quantity (it has both magnitude and direction) and is the rate of change of the position of an object with respect to time.
Symbol: V
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Length
Length is the measurement or extent of something from end to end.
Symbol: L
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Surface Tension
Surface Tension is a word that is linked to the liquid surface. It is a physical property of liquids, in which the molecules are drawn onto every side.
Symbol: σ
Measurement: Surface TensionUnit: N/m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.

How to Evaluate Weber Number?

Weber Number evaluator uses Weber Number = ((Density*(Velocity of Fluid^2)*Length)/Surface Tension) to evaluate the Weber Number, The Weber Number formula is defined as dimensionless number in fluid mechanics that is often useful in analysing fluid flows where there is an interface between two different fluids, especially for multiphase flows with strongly curved surfaces. Weber Number is denoted by We symbol.

How to evaluate Weber Number using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Weber Number, enter Density (ρ), Velocity of Fluid (V), Length (L) & Surface Tension (σ) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Weber Number

What is the formula to find Weber Number?
The formula of Weber Number is expressed as Weber Number = ((Density*(Velocity of Fluid^2)*Length)/Surface Tension). Here is an example- 495277.1 = ((997.3*(101.6^2)*3.5)/72.75).
How to calculate Weber Number?
With Density (ρ), Velocity of Fluid (V), Length (L) & Surface Tension (σ) we can find Weber Number using the formula - Weber Number = ((Density*(Velocity of Fluid^2)*Length)/Surface Tension).
