Froude number is significant in:

  • A. Supersonics, as with projectile and jet propulsion
  • B. Full immersion or completely flow, as with pipes, air crafts wings, nozzles, etc.
  • C. Simultaneous motion through two fluids where there is a surface discontinuity, gravity forces and wave making effect, as with ship's hulls
  • D. All of these

Answer: C. Simultaneous motion through two fluids where there is a surface discontinuity, gravity forces and wave making effect, as with ship's hulls

Explanation: Froude number represents the ratio of inertia forces to gravity forces, significant in free surface flows.
