Where:
  1. 
    
    is Reynolds Number (dimensionless), which is the ratio of inertial forces to friction forces in a fluid flow. It's used to determine whether a flow is laminar or turbulent.
  2. 
    
    is Schmidt Number (dimensionless), which is the ratio of two types of diffusion, momentum diffusion and mass diffusion. The Schmidt number is the mass transfer analogue of the Prandtl number.
  3. 
    
    is Péclet Number (dimensionless), which is the ratio of advection to diffusion in a fluid.
