Froude number

edit

Hello, you suggested another form, using the Froude-number squared, but not the left-hand side squared. If you have reasons to do so, then perhaps another symbol than Fr should be used. Otherwise this may be confusing. Crowsnest (talk) 20:39, 24 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Yes. It is totally confusing. I'm not sure what the best course of action would be for the article, since both forms appear in literature, and the form I added is not called 'Fr^2' when it is used. (The preferred equation seems to depend on the field of study.)

I re-instated the Froude number, as you have put it in, but with a "hat" on the Fr. If you have information on when which definition is used: that might reduce the possible confusion. — Crowsnest (talk) 20:03, 28 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
