Reynolds Number
Reynolds Number
(OP)
I am wondering how you calculate the Reynolds Number, Re, for wire moving in a fluid. What
characteristic dimension do you use; and what criteria do you use to determine a turbulent state?
My approach would be to use
Re = vD/viscosity(k)
v = velocity of wire D = diameter of wire
viscosity(k) = kinematic viscosity
And to use the criteria for flow over a flat plate. Does this make any sense?
Thank You
