Foil 27 The Reynolds Number R and Discussion of Interesting R and Viscosity Regimes

From Fox Presentation Fall 1995 CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- Fall Semester 95. by Geoffrey C. Fox
Viscosity is "resistance" to flow
  • Air has low viscosity
  • Treacle has high viscosity
Various Limits
  • High Viscosity (Low Reynolds number)
  • Low Viscosity (High Reynolds number)
  • and each has Sample Equations
