Kā aprēķināt Reynolds Number

Kas ir Reynolds Number?

The Reynolds number (Re) predicts whether fluid flow is laminar (smooth, Re < 2,300) or turbulent (chaotic, Re > 4,000). It is dimensionless and fundamental to fluid dynamics.

Formula

Re = ρvL/μ = vL/ν | where ρ = density, v = velocity, L = characteristic length, μ = dynamic viscosity, ν = kinematic viscosity
Re
Reynolds number (dimensionless)
ρ
Fluid density (kg/m³)
v
Flow velocity (m/s)
L
Characteristic length (m)
μ
Dynamic viscosity (Pa·s)
ν
Kinematic viscosity (m²/s)
