Question 1

What is the formula for Reynolds number?

  • Re = ρVD/μ
  • Re = μVD/ρ
  • Re = ρ/μVD

💡 Hint: Remember it’s a ratio involving forces.

Question 2

True or False: An increase in viscosity leads to a lower Reynolds number.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about what happens when a fluid becomes thicker.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the forces acting on a model car in a wind tunnel if the drag coefficient is 0.3, frontal area is 2m², and air density is 1.225 kg/m³ at a velocity of 15 m/s.

💡 Hint: Use the drag force formula to calculate.

Question 2

For water flowing over a sphere with a diameter of 0.2m at a velocity of 1m/s, calculate the Reynolds number given water's density is 1000 kg/m³ and viscosity is 0.001 Pa.s. Is the flow laminar or turbulent?

💡 Hint: Remember the flow type depends on the value of the Reynolds number.
