This is not a notable encyclopaedic topic in itself, in my opinion. A web-search gives not many results on the topic as such. While nondimensionalization and scaling are important, the nondimensionalization to be used critically depends on the flow problem at hand. There are a plethora of nondimensionalizations of the N-S equations possible, e.g. with possible different scalings in different directions, leading to different types of modelling for different problems (e.g. boundary layer theory). I believe the strategies to do so are typical subjects of coursebooks, but not of Wikipedia. Crowsnest ( talk) 12:50, 11 September 2012 (UTC) reply
Yes - non-dimensionalization and scaling are general procedures, and need skill and practice, which is out of the scope of WP, as Crowsnest says above. Same for dimensional analysis of physical quantities. This article seems to be trying to "teach" these for the NS eqns.
On the other hand there are specialized articles like Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness and Derivation of the Navier–Stokes equations, but these are sufficiently notable on their own and relieve the main article's size and audience, and are much less on "teaching" and more on describing topics, IMO.

Keep An article in Wikipedia keeps changing as other users keeps updating the article. An article in itself is not complete unless various experts in the field keep updating. This article would be useful for students and faculty as ready reference and can be added various dimensions to it be updating it further. Such information may be available in text books etc. but it will be more useful if it is available online on Wikipedia as it more accessible — Preceding
