ReynoldsNumber:

Path: AerospaceUtils/AtmosphericCalculations

% 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
