Grashof_number_Gates {TrenchR} | R Documentation |
The function estimates the Grashof Number, which describes the ability of a parcel of fluid warmer or colder than the surrounding fluid to rise against or fall with the attractive force of gravity (Gates 1980). The Grashof Number is estimated as the ratio of a buoyant force times an inertial force to the square of a viscous force.
