What is a Reynolds number (Re)?
Named after the British engineer Osborne Reynolds, the Reynolds number (Re) represents the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces within a fluid flow.
Formula: Re = (ρ * V * L) / μ, where ρ is the density of the fluid, V is the velocity, L is a characteristic length, and μ is the dynamic viscosity of the fluid.
