% Computes the Reynolds number. Turbulent flow generally happens for rE > 1e4. d is a characteristic length. It is typically diameter for pipe flow. Type ReynoldsNumberKinematic for a demo. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: rE = ReynoldsNumberKinematic( u, d, nu ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ u (1,:) Velocity (m/s) d (1,:) Characteristic length (m) nu (1,:) Kinematic viscosity (m^2/s) ------- Outputs ------- rE (1,:) Reynolds number -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reference: L. C. Thomas, "Heat Transfer," Prentice-Hall, 1992, p. 374. --------------------------------------------------------------------------
