The complex information is not provided by dimensional analysis.

LIMITATIONS OF DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS

(i) The complex information is not provided by dimensional analysis. It only indicates that there is some relationship between the parameters.

(ii) No information is given about the internal mechanism of the physical phenomenon. 

(iii) Dimensional analysis does not give any regarding the selection variables.
