Buckingham π theorem
System described by F (Q1...Q p ) where Q1.. p are the relevant macroscopic variables
F must be a function of dimensionless groups π 1.. M (Q1.. p )
if there are R physical dimensions (mass, length, time etc.)
there are M = P − R distinct dimensionless groups.
Then F (π 1.. M ) = C is the general solution for this universality class.
To proceed further we need to make some intelligent guesses for F (π 1.. M )
See e.g. Barenblatt, Scaling, self - similarity and intermediate asymptotics, CUP, [1996]
also Longair, Theoretical concepts in physics, Chap 8, CUP [2003]
Example: simple (nonlinear) pendulum
System described by F (Q1...Q p ) where Qk is a macroscopic variable
F must be a function of dimensionless groups π 1.. M (Q1.. p )
if there are R physical dimensions (mass, length, time etc.) there are M = P − R dimensionless groups
Step 1: write down the relevant macroscopic variables:
variable dimension
description
angle of release
−
θ0
m
τ
g
l
[M ]
[T ]
[ L][T ]−2
[ L]
mass of bob
period of pendulum
gravitational acceleration
length of pendulum
Step 2: form dimensionless groups: P = 5, R = 3 so M = 2
π 1 = θ0 , π 2 =
τ 2l
g
and no dimensionless group can contain m
2
then solution is F (θ0 ,τ l ) = C
g
Step 3: make some simplifying assumption: f (π 1 ) = π 2 then the period:τ = f (θ 0 )
NB f (θ 0 ) is universal ie same for all pendulawe can find it knowing some other property eg conservation of energy..

Example: fluid turbulence, the Kolmogorov '5/3 power spectrum'
System described by F (Q1...Q p ) where Qk is a macroscopic variable
F must be a function of dimensionless groups π 1.. M (Q1.. p )
