Solved Problem: Buckingham Pi Theorem (Stokes' Flow) Dimensional Analysis
MEC516/BME516 Fluid Mechanics, Chapter 5 Dimensional Analysis and Similarity, Part 3: In this video a sample problem of dimensional analysis is solved to reproduce the form of Stokes' equation for drag over a sphere in creeping flow. This example shows how to deal with a dimensional analysis problem that has only one Pi parameter using the Method of Repeating Variables.
