Reynolds Number

Applicable units are those of quantitykind:ReynoldsNumber

The "Reynolds Number" (Re) is a dimensionless number that gives a measure of the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces and consequently quantifies the relative importance of these two types of forces for given flow conditions.

$Re = \frac{\rho uL}{\mu} = \frac{uL}{\nu}$, where $\rho$ is mass density, $u$ is speed, $L$ is length, $\mu$ is dynamic viscosity, and $\nu$ is kinematic viscosity.
