On Reynolds number physical interpretation

Václav Uruba
2018
The physical interpretation of Reynolds number in laminar and turbulent flows is studied in details. Understanding to its real physical meaning is the necessary condition for proper and meaningful explanation of the processes behind. The Reynolds number is interpreted in the paper as ratio of momentum convection and momentum diffusion effects in a laminar-like flow.
