Calculate Reynolds Number







Formula

The formula to calculate the Reynolds Number (Re) is:

\[ Re = \frac{p \cdot v \cdot L}{u} \]

What is Reynolds Number?

Reynolds Number is a unitless factor that describes the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces of an object moving through a fluid or gas. It helps in predicting flow patterns in different fluid flow situations.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ Re = \frac{1000 \cdot 2 \cdot 0.05}{0.001} = 100000 \]

The Reynolds Number is 100,000.
