Dimensionless Physical Constant
In physics, a dimensionless physical constant is a physical constant that is dimensionless, i.e. a pure number having no units attached and having a numerical value that is independent of whatever system of units may be used. For example, if one considers one particular airfoil, the Reynolds number value of the laminar–turbulent transition is one relevant dimensionless physical constant of the problem. However, it is strictly related to the particular problem: for example, it is related to the airfoil being considered and also to the type of fluid in which it moves. On the other hand, the term fundamental physical constant is used to refer to some ''universal'' dimensionless constants. Perhaps the best-known example is the fine-structure constant, ''α'', which has an approximate value of . The correct use of the term ''fundamental physical constant'' should be restricted to the dimensionless universal physical constants that currently cannot be derived from any other source. ...
