French term or phrase: relation de la forme
Ensuite, nous avons reporté l’ensemble des résultats issus du calcul numérique, faisant apparaître les temps d’apparition de goutte des différentes terres cuites et les volumes d’eau correspondant à une percolation de 24h, pour une charge de 10cm d’eau.
Par ailleurs puisque le temps T2 d’apparition de la goutte est conditionné essentiellement par la phase deux, c’est à dire lui aussi par la loi de Darcy il est donc pratiquement inversement proportionnel à la densité de flux liquide.
On peut donc, finalement, s’attendre à ce que le volume d’eau, V, percolant à travers le matériau en 24h soit donc, lui aussi, pratiquement inversement proportionnel au temps, T2, d’apparition de la goutte ,soit donc, finalement, à une relation de la forme :

relation of the form:
Explanation:
where what follows is an equation, inequality, etc., presumably.

"Relation" is thus used in the mathematical sense.

<<Assuming a stellar mass-luminosity relation of the form
L(M) = CM3.5
over the entire mass range, where C is a constant, show that the stellar luminosity in the galaxy immediately after the star formation burst is dominated by high-mass stars.>>

<<Consider a homogeneous linear recurrence relation of order k, which is a recurrence relationof the form xn+k+ ak−1xn+k−1+ ak−2xn+k−2+· · · + a1xn+1+ a0xn= 0>>

just for something a little more complex!

agree  invguy: Precisely. A ratio is typically a numerical value (or a range of values) while a relation is a (system of) mathematical expression(s) containing one or more variables.
