A number of texts contain thorough lists of nondimensional parameters with brief descriptions of their meaning; one
example can be found in [7]. Nondimensionalization of the Navier-Stokes equations and dynamic similitude is
discussed precisely in [57]. For those interested in a presentation of transport that thoroughly stresses
nondimensionalization throughout, Ref. [6] makes nondimensionalization a focus. We have neglected, for
example, nondimensional parameters related to buoyancy, such as the Bond, Grashof, and Rayleigh
numbers; parameters related to chemical reaction, such as the Damköhler numbers; parameters related to
macromolecule relaxation, such as the Weissenberg and Deborah numbers; and parameters related to thermal
transport, such as the Brinkman, Biot, and Fourier numbers. A thorough microfluidic review with a focus
on the role of nondimensionalization (and mention of many parameters omitted here) can be found
in [270].
