Strouhal Number Calculator
Posted by Dinesh onOnline Strouhal formula calculator to calculate Strouhal Number for oscillating flow mechanism problems.
The Strouhal number (St) is a dimensionless number describing oscillating flow mechanisms. The parameter is named after Vincenc Strouhal, a Czech physicist who experimented in 1878 with wires experiencing vortex shedding and singing in the wind.
Strouhal Number Calculation
Formula:
where,
| f is the frequency of vortex shedding |
| L is the characteristic length (for example hydraulic diameter, or the airfoil thickness) |
| U is the flow velocity |
| St is the Strouhal number (dimensionless) |
