STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Stratification Number = Rate of Energy Dissipation/Rate of Potential Energy Gain
n = r/p
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Stratification Number - Stratification Number is referred to characterize the stability of a fluid flow in a stratified medium, such as the atmosphere or the ocean.
Rate of Energy Dissipation - Rate of Energy Dissipation in a fluid flow refers to the rate at which mechanical energy is converted into heat due to the viscous effects within the fluid.
Rate of Potential Energy Gain - Rate of Potential Energy Gain referred to the rate at which the potential energy of the fluid is increasing per unit time.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

What is River Navigation?

When a stretch of river is made navigable, a lock is sometimes required to bypass an obstruction such as a rapid, dam, or mill weir – because of the change in river level across the obstacle.
In large scale river navigation improvements, weirs and locks are used together. A weir will increase the depth of a shallow stretch, and the required lock will either be built in a gap in the weir, or at the downstream end of an artificial cut which bypasses the weir and perhaps a shallow stretch of river below it. A river improved by these means is often called a Waterway or River Navigation.

What causes stratification?

Stratification occurs as a result of a density differential between two water layers and can arise as a result of the differences in salinity, temperature, or a combination of both. Stratification is more likely when the mixing forces of wind and wave action are minimal and this occurs more often in the summer months.

How to Calculate Dimensionless Stratification Number?

Dimensionless Stratification Number calculator uses Stratification Number = Rate of Energy Dissipation/Rate of Potential Energy Gain to calculate the Stratification Number, The Dimensionless Stratification Number formula is defined as the act of sorting data, people, and objects into distinct groups or layers. Stratification Number is denoted by n symbol.
