Reynolds number = =
where:
2. Reynolds numbers are used in airfoil design to (among other things) manage
"scale effect" when computing/comparing characteristics (a tiny wing, scaled
to be huge, will perform differently).Fluid dynamicists define the chord
Reynolds number R like this:
Using the definition of the Reynolds number we can see that a large diameter
with rapid flow, where the density of the blood is high, tends towards
turbulence. Rapid changes in vessel diameter may lead to turbulent flow, for
instance when a narrower vessel widens to a larger one. Furthermore, a bulge
of atheroma may be the cause of turbulent flow, where audible turbulence may
be detected with a stethoscope.
