Step 1

The Reynolds number Re is a dimensionless quantity that represents the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces in a fluid flow. It is used to determine the flow regime (laminar or turbulent) and the drag force on an object moving through the fluid. Show more…

The Reynolds number Re for a sphere moving through a fluid is given as Re = ÏvD/Î¼, where D is the sphere diameter, Ï is the density of the fluid, Î¼ is the viscosity of the fluid, and v is the speed of the sphere. Here the exponent is an integer. At low Reynolds number Re, the drag coefficient for a moving sphere varies with Re as caRe. Here a is an integer.
