Try your own — the unit calculator
Ever wondered whether a formula “adds up”? This tool answers one plain question: do the units match? Pick a couple of quantities (distance, time, a speed…), join them with ×, ÷, +, or =, and press Run. It works out the resulting unit — for example distance ÷ time gives a speed, LT⁻¹ (metres per second) — and flags anything that can’t be right, like adding a length to a time.

“u” is analysed by expanding its full defining equation (its children and their relations), not as a bare symbol. Use Check this concept’s units above for the same result.

Definition
What it is — and what it is not
- What it is
- S1The axial velocity function u(x, y, t) specific to Problem 1: the x-component of the two-dimensional unsteady boundary-layer velocity field (m/s).
- Attributes
- S2It is recovered from the stream function and, under the similarity substitution, satisfies u = U_w(x,t) f′(η).
