Buckingham Pi Theorem #10

Open ViktorWase opened 9 years ago

ViktorWase commented 9 years ago

The Buckingham Pi Theorem could probably be used as a starting point in the hypothesis forming. (The wiki article about it is sort of helpful if you don't know what it is.)

Frank could guess at a couple of attributes that are important and then using the units of these attributes reduce it into only a few non-dimensional relevant parameters.

This should reduce the number of crap ideas and also incease the convergence of the non-crap ones.
