Taylor Number Calculator

Online Geoffrey Ingram Taylor formula calculator to calculate Taylor Number for fluid dynamics problems.

The Taylor number (Ta) is a dimensionless quantity that characterizes the importance of centrifugal "forces" or so-called inertial forces due to rotation of a fluid about an axis, relative to viscous forces.

Taylor Number Calculation

Formula:

Ta=4·Ω2·R4v2

where,
Ω is the characteristic angular velocity
R is the characteristic linear dimension perpendicular to the rotation axis
v is the kinematic viscosity
Ta is the Taylor number (dimensionless)
