Determine the flow regime (Laminar, Transitional, or Turbulent) of a fluid using its density, velocity, and viscosity.
Typically diameter for pipes
Fluid particles move in smooth, parallel layers. Viscous forces dominate.

Is the flow smooth (Laminar) or chaotic (Turbulent)? The Reynolds Number (Re) is the dimensionless ratio that predicts this fluid behavior.
Designing pipes, wings, or pumps requires knowing the flow state. Re < 2300 is Laminar; Re > 4000 is Turbulent. This calculator tells you which one it is.
Calculates Re = ρvL / μ
Classifies Laminar/Transient/Turbulent
Supports Dynamic and Kinematic Viscosity
Crucial for Fluid Dynamics
The Reynolds Number compares Inertial Forces (momentum) to Viscous Forces (friction). High viscosity (honey) keeps flow smooth; high speed makes it chaotic.
