Dimensional analysis is a mathematical technique used in fluid mechanics to analyze physical quantities based on their dimensions, primarily length, mass, and time. It distinguishes between fundamental quantities and derived quantities, allowing for the establishment of relationships among variables through methods like Rayleigh's method and Buckingham's theorem. The document also provides examples of dimensional relationships and calculations for various physical phenomena.
