Palmer, Andrew C. 1938-
Dimensional analysis and intelligent experimentation [electronic resource] / Andrew C. Palmer. - Singapore ; Hackensack, NJ : World Scientific Publishing, [2019], c2008. - 1 online resource (x, 154 p.)
Includes bibliographical references.
Introduction -- Numbers and units in engineering and physics -- Dimensions, dimensionless groups, and variables -- Dimensional analysis -- Similarity and intelligent experimentation -- Equations in nondimensional form -- Physical models -- Solutions to problems.
"Dimensional analysis is a magical way of finding useful results with almost no effort. It makes it possible to bring together the results of experiments and computations in a concise but exact form, so that they can be used efficiently and economically to make predictions. It takes advantage of the fact that phenomena go their way independently of the units we measure them with, because the units have nothing to do with the underlying physics. This simple idea turns out to be unexpectedly powerful."--Publisher's website.
