With the above nondimensional quantities, the governing equations (1) become
where [S.sup.*.sub.ij] = [S.sub.ij]/([mu]W/h) is the nondimensional shear stress.
The nondimensional differential dynamics, as seen in (9), is obtained from (6) by the replacement of [MATHEMATICAL EXPRESSION NOT REPRODUCIBLE IN ASCII], and [Q.sub.x] = 2[pi][[??].sub.x] x [m.sub.x]/[c.sub.x].
In their analysis, it was found that under the assumptions of long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximation the flow is governed by the following system of partial differential equations in nondimensional form [13]:
In this paper, by applying the VIM, we solve the nondimensional dynamic equation of the suspension spring system under the excitation of dropping shock to obtain a firstorder approximate solution and obtain the nondimensional maximum acceleration expression.
where [[theta].sub.BT] is nondimensional temperature at the beginning of fuel injection; A is the factor of fuel properties; a, a1 are diesel engine and fuel injection system structure weightings; [PSI] is assessment factor of the ratio of physical and chemical rates; [[phi].sub.IL] is fuel injection period (using fuel injection system features of real engines 1DH-FTE, GM 6.5L, OM 366 LA), deg.c.r.; [[phi].sub.IK] is the factory fuel injection angles (fuel injection system angles of real engines 1DH-FTE, GM 6.5L, OM 366 LA), deg.c.r.
Therefore, a sound speed that is made nondimensional using the isothermal sound speed of the vapor, as shown in the equation below, approaches unity.
The stresses in the part are to be expressed in a nondimensional form, in order to show the effect of the shape of the part on the stresses in it.
In an effort to add further fluid dynamical underpinnings to navigational strategies, I suggest how simple nondimensional categorization of behavior in relation to flow may aid in identifying the forces underlying common elements, even across animals of seemingly disparate size and scale.
