2. Astronomy. Used in the name of the thirteenth star of a constellation. Usually written ν.The use of Greek letters to designate the stars in a constellation was introduced by J. Bayer in his Uranometria (1603). There is an approximate correspondence between the ordinal positions of the stars in this series and their brightness.

1942 Proc. Royal Soc. A. 181 146 It is shown in text-books on fluid mechanics..that (subject to certain restrictions) the Nusselt number Nu is probably a function of σ and the Reynolds number R if compressibility effects are negligibly small.

1948 Proc. Royal Soc. A. 193 519 The Nu number depends on the Reynolds number.

1964 Amer. Jrnl. Bot. 51 535/1 From dimensional analysis it can be shown that Nu = f(Gr, Pr).

1988 Limnol. & Oceanogr. 33 1080/1 This observation..cannot be extrapolated to the dependence of the Nu number on the radial coordinate.

2009 Nature 15 Jan. 270/1 For convection on domestic or industrial scales, Nu takes typical values from about 10 up to several thousand.
