During World War II, Sir Geoffrey Taylor, a British fluid dynamicist, used dimensional analysis to estimate theenergy released by an atomic bomb explosion. He assumed that the energy released E, was a function of blastwave radius R, air density ρ, and time t. Arrange these variables into single dimensionless group, which we mayterm the blast wave number.
