Definition

EN

quotient of inertial forces and viscous forces in a fluid flow, expressed by

R e = ρ v l η = v l v ; where

ρ :: is mass density (ISO 80000-4: Mechanics),

v :: is speed (ISO 80000-3: Space and time),

l :: is characteristic length (ISO 80000-3: Space and time),

η :: is dynamic viscosity (ISO 80000-4: Mechanics), and

v :: is kinematic viscosity (ISO 80000-4: Mechanics)

FR

quotient des forces d'inertie par les forces visqueuses dans l'écoulement d'un fluide, exprimé par:

R e = ρ v l η = v l v ; où

ρ :: est la masse volumique (ISO 80000-4: Mechanics);

v :: est la vitesse (ISO 80000-3: Space and time);

l :: est la longueur caractéristique (ISO 80000-3: Space and time);

η :: est la viscosité dynamique (ISO 80000-4: Mechanics); et

v :: est la viscosité cinématique (ISO 80000-4: Mechanics)

Notes

EN

The value of the Reynolds number gives an estimate on the flow state: laminar flow or turbulent flow.

In rotating movement, the speed v = ω l , where l is the distance from the rotation axis and ω is the angular velocity.

FR

La valeur du nombre de Reynolds donne une estimation de l'état de l'écoulement: écoulement laminaire ou écoulement turbulent.

Dans un mouvement de rotation, la vitesse v = ω l , où l est la distance par rapport à l'axe de rotation et ω est la vitesse angulaire.
