Reynolds Number

#Physics
A constant describing fluid flow dependent on the geometry, surface roughness, and etc. of the environment that the fluid is flowing through

$\displaystyle Re=\frac{v_{c}\rho D}{\eta}$

  • $\displaystyle v_{c}$ is the critical speed of the fluid
  • $\displaystyle \rho$ is the fluid density
  • $\displaystyle D$ is the tube diameter
  • $\displaystyle \eta$ is the fluid viscosity
