How This Is Calculated



$$ Re = \frac{\rho v D}{\mu} $$ where:

Re   =   Reynolds Number   (Dimensionless)

ρ   =   Density  (kg/m³)

v   =   Characteristic velocity  (m/s²)

D   =   Characteristic Length   (m)

μ   =   Dynamic Viscosity   (m²/s)


Assumptions



  • The fluid is incompressible.
  • The fluid is Newtonian.
  • Steady flow conditions.
  • Flow is fully developed.
