    This document discusses dimensional analysis and Rayleigh's pi theorem for fluid mechanics. It introduces dimensional analysis as a tool to establish relationships between physical variables when the exact relation is unknown. Rayleigh's method expresses variables in an exponential equation that is dimensionally homogeneous. As an example, it establishes that the time period of a simple pendulum depends on its length and the acceleration due to gravity. The document also notes that Rayleigh's method can only solve for up to four variables and outlines the steps to apply dimensional analysis to a problem.

    Rayleigh's method
    In this method, the expression for the variables
    in form of exponential equation and
    dimensionally homogeneous.
    Let, Y is a variable, which depends on variables,
    x1, x2, x3 then functional relationship may be
    written as:
    Y=f(x1, x2, x3.........)
    Y=K
