% Reynold's number as a function of atmospheric density.
If viscosity isn't entered it is computed using Sutherland's Law.
Type ReynoldsNumber for a demo using the Standard Atmosphere.

Form:
ReynoldsNumber
rE = ReynoldsNumber( rho, v, mu, x )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
Inputs
------
rho (1,:) Density
v (1,:) Velocity
mu (1,:) Dynamic viscosity
x (1,:) Characteristic length
-------
Outputs
-------
