The Shields parameter, also called the Shields criterion or Shields number, is a nondimensional number used to calculate the initiation of motion of sediment in a fluid flow. It is a nondimensionalization of a shear stress, and is typically denoted or . It is given by: : where: * is a dimensional shear stress; * is the density of the sediment; * is the density of the fluid; * is acceleration due to gravity; * is a characteristic particle diameter of the sediment. ==Physical meaning== By multiplying the top and bottom of the Shields parameter by ''D''2, you can see that it is proportional to the ratio of fluid force on the particle to the weight of the particle. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shields parameter」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
