How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T19319098 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

Target entity: Strouhal number Context triple: [Kármán vortex street, describedBy, Strouhal number]
-
A.
Stokes number
The Stokes number is a dimensionless quantity in fluid dynamics that characterizes the behavior of particles suspended in a flow by comparing their response time to a characteristic timescale of the fluid.
-
B.
Reynolds number
The Reynolds number is a dimensionless quantity in fluid mechanics that characterizes the flow regime of a fluid, indicating whether it is laminar or turbulent based on the ratio of inertial to viscous forces.
-
C.
Froude number
The Froude number is a dimensionless quantity in fluid dynamics that compares inertial forces to gravitational forces, commonly used to characterize flow regimes in open channels and around ships.
-
D.
Kármán vortex street
Kármán vortex street is a repeating pattern of swirling vortices formed when a fluid flows past a bluff body, fundamental in fluid dynamics and aerodynamics.
-
E.
Brunt–Väisälä frequency
The Brunt–Väisälä frequency is a measure of the stability of a stratified fluid to vertical displacements, representing the natural oscillation frequency of buoyancy-driven gravity waves in atmospheres, oceans, and stellar interiors.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
