Defination / Uses
Density is the mass of a material substance per unit volume. Density is calculated using the formula d = M/V, where d represents density, M is mass, and V is volume. The density of a substance is usually measured in grammes per cm³.
The Weber number is termed as a dimensionless number in fluid mechanics which is often used in analysing fluid flows where there is an interface between two different fluids.

The concept of velocity for an object is the rate at which the object's position changes in relation to a frame of reference and time. It's a vector quantity, which means we need both magnitude (speed) and direction (orientation) to define velocity. Its SI unit is meter per second (m/s). When the amount or direction of a body's velocity changes, the body is said to be accelerating.

Characteristic length is a crucial dimension in physics that specifies the scale of a physical system. Characteristic length is defined in computational mechanics to force localization of a stress softening constitutive equation. An integration point is referred to the length.

Defination / Uses
The ability of fluid surfaces to shrink to the smallest feasible surface area is known as surface tension. Have you ever noticed that even after you've filled a glass halfway with water, you can still add a few more drops till it overflows? Have you ever broken a thermometer and watched how the mercury reacts when it falls? All of this occurs as a result of the surface's surface tension.

In fluid mechanics, the Weber number is a characteristic number. It depicts the ratio between deforming inertial forces and stabilising cohesive forces for liquids moving across a fluid medium as a dimensionless number.
Spray droplets disperse more easily and oil drops in an aqueous environment split apart more easily as the deforming force increases due to a greater speed or longer process length. This process is slowed down by a high surface or interfacial tension.
