Reynolds number

(Physics / General Physics) a dimensionless number, vρl/η, where v is the fluid velocity, ρ the density, η the viscosity and l a dimension of the system. The value of the number indicates the type of fluid flow

[named after Osborne Reynolds (1842-1912), British physicist]

No references found			In particular, the researchers found that a mixing flow in the outer core with magnetic Reynolds number in the range of 200, which they suggest is a physically reasonable range, could account for the historically measured rate of decrease of the geomagnetic dipole moment. Mixing in Earth's outer core causes geomagnetic dipole to collapse by Asian News International Phelps has a high Reynolds number in the pool, exceeding 1 million, meaning that his strokes create sufficiently powerful inertia to carry him through the water, and viscosity is not overwhelmingly important.
