Reynolds Number Record Set

From: Sea Technology | Date: June 1, 2003| Author: | Copyright information

The U.S. Navy's Large Cavitation Channel (LCC) in Memphis, Tennessee, has enabled hydrodynamic experts to produce and measure 2D flows at Reynolds numbers up to 20 times higher than any previously achieved in a laboratory. The Reynolds number is a non-dimensional parameter characterizing size of the model or prototype and fluid flow speed, viscosity and density. Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock, cooperated in two test programs with the University of Michigan using Office of Naval Research and Defense Advanced ...
