What is Keulegan–Carpenter Number?

In fluid dynamics, the Keulegan–Carpenter Number, also called the period number, is a dimensionless quantity describing the relative importance of the drag forces over inertia forces for bluff objects in an oscillatory fluid flow. Or similarly, for objects that oscillate in a fluid at rest.

What is The Morison (MOJS) equation?

In fluid dynamics, the "Morison equation" is a semi-empirical equation for the inline force on a body in oscillatory flow. It is sometimes called the "MOJS equation" after all four authors – Morison, O’Brien, Johnson and Schaaf –of the 1950 paper in which the equation was introduced.
