hi
please i need help
how to calculate the Reynolds number with presence of a grid in the inlet
the inlet velocity is 6.55 m/s
the diameter of the tube is 0.4 cm
the grid mesh 0.0254 m
the fluide is Air

they obtained ~11000

hi soufiane002,

The Reynolds number is calculated using:

l=0.0254
rho=1.225
mu=1.7894E-5
v=6.55
reynolds_no=v*rho*(l)/mu

with l the characteristic length, when setting this equal to the grid mesh, Re equals 11389.

Cheers, xava
