Petroleum Bond Number Calculator
BondnumberBo=|Δρ|gL²/σ,actualgeometryscaleandphases independentlyestablished,no universalcapillarytransport criterion.
Description
Bond number compares buoyancy and interfacial effects at a specified geometric length scale.
Bond number compares buoyancy and interfacial effects at a specified geometric length scale.1
The chosen phase density difference and characteristic length determine the modeled comparison.
When to use Petroleum Bond Number Calculator
Use this tool to apply the stated petroleum bond number calculator operation with an explicit input and unit basis.
How to use Petroleum Bond Number Calculator and how it works
- Establish the measurement basis and units described above.
- Enter actualAbsolutePhaseDensityDifference, callerGravity, actualCharacteristicLength, actualInterfacialTension and run the tool.
- Read result.value using the output meanings below.
- If input is rejected, correct the stated type, range, ordering or alignment issue and rerun; review successful results under the declared convention.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| actualAbsolutePhaseDensityDifference | Absolute phase density difference, on the basis specified in the algorithm. | number | required; finite; nonnegative; further conditions in the algorithm |
| callerGravity | Gravity, on the basis specified in the algorithm. | number | required; finite; strictly positive; further conditions in the algorithm |
| actualCharacteristicLength | Characteristic length, on the basis specified in the algorithm. | number | required; finite; strictly positive; further conditions in the algorithm |
| actualInterfacialTension | Interfacial tension, on the basis specified in the algorithm. | number | required; finite; strictly positive; further conditions in the algorithm |
Require nonnegative absolute density difference and positive gravity, length and tension. Multiply density difference by gravity and squared length, then divide by tension.
Bo = |Δρ| g L² / σ Apply the declared units, ordering and branch conditions.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| result | Object containing the declared output fields. | object |
| result.value | Dimensionless Bond number for the supplied length scale. | number |

}Limitations and assumptions
The output applies the declared operation to the values you supply. Establish the measurement basis, units, coefficients and any caller-selected rules before interpreting it. The tool does not independently collect or verify observations or decide whether a model or reference applies.
Supply explicit required fields with the documented types and dense aligned arrays. Unknown fields, wrong types and nonfinite numbers are rejected. Branch-specific constraints are explained above. A successful false boolean, negative signed difference, empty slice or unresolved tie is distinct from an input error. Very large inputs or outputs may be rejected by shared resource limits.
