Froude number

A dimensionless number relating the ratio of inertial to buoyancy forces applicable, in particular, to homogeneous shallow water flow, or two layer flow. Explicitly, in the shallow water approximation the Froude number is Fr=U^2/(gH) in which U is the characteristic velocity, H the characteristic fluid depth, and g the acceleration due to gravity.
