Cum se calculează Reynolds Number

Ce este 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.

Formulă

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)

Ghid pas cu pas
