Reynolds number predicts flow regime: laminar (smooth, orderly) or turbulent (chaotic, mixing). It's dimensionless and crucial for fluid mechanics analysis.

Công thức

The calculator applies Re = (ρ × v × L) / η
Re
(ρ × v × L) / η — (ρ × v × L) / η
L
L value — Variable used in the calculation

Hướng dẫn từng bước

  1. 1Enter fluid density, velocity, characteristic length, and dynamic viscosity
  2. 2The calculator applies Re = (ρ × v × L) / η
  3. 3Results classify flow and predict behavior

Ví dụ có lời giải

đầu vào
ρ = 1000 kg/m³, v = 0.1 m/s, L = 0.01 m (water in small pipe), η = 0.001 Pa·s
Kết quả
Re = 1000 (laminar)
Smooth, predictable flow

Lỗi thường gặp cần tránh

  • Confusing characteristic length (diameter for pipes, chord for airfoils)
  • Using kinematic instead of dynamic viscosity

Câu hỏi thường gặp

What Reynolds numbers indicate turbulence?

Re < 2300 is laminar, 2300-4000 is transitional, Re > 4000 is turbulent in pipes.

Does Reynolds number apply to all fluids?

Yes, it's dimensionless; the same Re value predicts similar flow behavior regardless of fluid type.
