Question 19 / 40:  Which of the following best describes the physical meaning of the Reynolds number?
A  Ratio of viscous drag to inertia
B  Ratio of inertia to viscous drag
C  Ratio of viscous drag to form drag
D  Ratio of form drag to viscous drag
<< First < Previous Flashcard Next > Last >>
Explanation:

The larger the Re, the more important fluid inertia is. You can rationalize or remember this by thinking about the presence of viscosity and stationary surfaces controlling the flow and keeping the fluid inertia from causing turbulence.
