def modified_sommerfeld_number(radius_stator, omega, viscosity, length, load, radial_clearance):
    """Returns the modified sommerfeld number.
    Parameters
    ----------
    radius_stator : float
        The external radius of the bearing.
    omega: float
        Rotation of the rotor (rad/s).
    viscosity: float
        Viscosity (Pa.s).
    length: float
        Length in the Z direction (m).
    load: float
        Load applied to the rotor (N).
    radial_clearance: float
        Difference between both stator and rotor radius, regardless of eccentricity.

    Returns
    -------
    float
        The modified sommerfeld number.
