The Weber number (We) is a dimensionless quantity used in fluid mechanics to estimate the relative importance of inertial forces to surface tension forces in a flowing fluid. It is particularly useful in the study of interfaces, such as between liquids or between a liquid and a gas, where surface tension plays a significant role.
