Reynolds number
In fluid mechanics and aerodynamics, the Reynolds number is a measure of the ratio of inertial forces (vsρ) to viscous forces (μ/L) and, consequently, it quantifies the relative importance of these two types of forces for given flow conditions. It is the most important dimensionless number in fluid dynamics and is used, usually along with [...]

The Navier–Stokes equations
Named after Claude-Louis Navier and George Gabriel Stokes, describe the motion of viscous fluid substances such as liquids and gases. These equations arise from applying Newton's second law to fluid motion, together with the assumption that the fluid stress is the sum of a diffusing viscous term (proportional to the gradient of velocity), plus a [...]
