Which factors affect Reynolds number?


6 Views

The Reynolds number is nothing but the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces.


Therefore,


The major factors affecting the Reynolds number are:

  1. Dynamic viscosity of the fluid

  2. Average velocity of the fluid

  3. Characteristic length of the flow section (geometry)

  4. Density of the fluid
