Reynolds Number

Ratio of inertial to viscous forces, Re = ρVD/μ, used to classify flow as laminar, transitional, or turbulent. For internal pipe flow, Re < 2300 is laminar and Re > 4000 is turbulent.

LAMINAR TURBULENT Re = ρVD/μ Re < 2300 laminar · 2300–4000 transitional · > 4000 turbulent
Laminar (ordered) vs. turbulent (chaotic) flow regimes.
