雷诺数

定义

一个无量纲量,用于预测流体流动是层流还是湍流,定义为Re = ρvL/μ(密度 × 速度 × 特征长度 / 动力粘度)。

解释

Developed by Osborne Reynolds in 1883, it remains a cornerstone of fluid dynamics. Flow with Re below ~2,300 in a pipe is typically laminar and smooth; above ~4,000, it becomes turbulent and chaotic. Engineers use it to scale wind tunnel models: a small model at high velocity can replicate the same flow behavior as a full-sized aircraft.
