For quantities like this with a lot of unit combinations I'll usually do yotta through yocto for the dimension that is most commonly used and then hand pick other commonly used units. For these quantities perhaps start with yotta-yocto+hour/minute/second+no prefix and no prefix+hour/minute/second+yotta-yocto. I believe that will give 120 combinations each which isn't too bad.
I have a PR ready for two new units:
VolumetricFlux
(m³·s⁻¹·m⁻²
), a measure of the volume of fluid flowing through a surface per unit of time (equivalent to mean flow velocity)FlowResistivity
(Pa·s·m⁻²
), a measure of the ability of a porous material to resist the flow of air through it.As one can see, both have three factors (two of them being SI metrics) I ended up generating all of the different possible units through a python script and as expected, there are quite a lot... (for
VolumetricFlux
to be specific 2.6k) I don't think that's feasible. What should the criteria be for the inclusion of a unit?The script:
