I have a little bit of experience in developing CFD code, and it always amazed me how all the dimensionless numbers in fluid mechanics allow for problems to become, in my mind anyways, self similar at many different combinations of whatever equivalent dimensionless number is being targeted. Is this an example of fractal type self similarity or am I way off track?
