The flow behavior of such systems can be analyzed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. In systems influenced by fluid flow, it is important to analyze the fluid dynamics in order to quantify their effect. The range of Reynolds numbers indicate the degree of laminar or turbulent flow Reynolds number is a dimensionless measurement that describes the degree of laminar or turbulent fluid flow.įluid viscosity can be measured as absolute or dynamic viscosity and kinematic viscosity.Īs the kinematic viscosity increases, the Reynolds number decreases and vice versa.
