Talk:Archimedes number

Fascinating. What, prey tell, is its application - what is A_r in the equation? Articles should always be able to be read stand-alone. This is not. GRAHAMUK 12:33, 16 Oct 2003 (UTC)

There. Nothing like a bit of "What Links Here" sugar :) Dysprosia 12:38, 16 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Well, I still don't think it tells me much. What is the result of the equation - a velocity, a rate... what? If it's a dimensionless number, what does it signify?. Also, having to click "what links here" to determine what an article is talking about indicates a general failure on the part of the author to be encyclopedic, IMHO. In this case the only link to here is "dimensionless number", which is a general thing that does not have anything to do with fluid motions, etc. The opening sentence gives a hint but is still not encyclopedic enough, I think.

Yes, but we can't always win. Having a few hits on "What Links Here" always helps - though I do agree the article still needs much work - unfortunately I don't know about it to do so Dysprosia 13:11, 16 Oct 2003 (UTC)

I think this Archimedes number is more or less a Reynolds number using an objects Stokes velocity for velocity scale. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Delauxs (talk • contribs) 03:18, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, in that sense, a connection to Stokes Law is in order too. There is a similarity between Archimedes Number and Stokes equation. Including it would augment this article's value. Amclaussen. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.100.180.20 (talk) 20:20, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

Did some work on this, I think it's no longer a stub, and it's fully referenced. I want to do a bit more on connections with Reynold's number and Stoke's law like others mentioned if I get a chance, if I find anything I'll add it. P.S. this was my first bold edit so sorry if I messed up. HeresLookinAtEuclid (talk) 16:10, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
