Online Rossby formula calculator to calculate Rossby Number (ratio of inertial force to Coriolis force).

The Rossby number (Ro), is a dimensionless number, named for Carl-Gustav Arvid Rossby and used in describing fluid flow. The Rossby number is the ratio of inertial force to Coriolis force, terms and in the Navier–Stokes equations, respectively.

Rossby Number Calculation

Formula:

Ro=UL·F

where,
U is the characteristic velocity
L is the length scales of the phenomenon
f is the Coriolis frequency
Ro is the Rossby number
