Marangoni Number Calculator
Calculate the Marangoni number to determine the significance of surface tension gradients relative to viscous and thermal diffusion effects.
Formula
Ma = |dσ/dT| ΔT L / (μ α) veya Ma = |dσ/dT| |dT/dz| L² / (μ α)
Source / method note
The Marangoni number is a fundamental dimensionless parameter in thermocapillary convection, microfluidics, and microgravity heat transfer. The magnitude of |dσ/dT| determines the dimensionless intensity.
