Reynolds Number: The Hidden Rule of Fluid Flow

A two‑part deep dive into the Reynolds number—the dimensionless ratio that decides whether fluids glide laminar or tumble into turbulence. We trace its origin in Osborne Reynolds’ 1883 pipe dye experiment, explore how it guides aircraft design and industrial processes, and reveal surprising examples from golf balls to packed beds. A clear, story‑driven tour of how this simple concept governs complex fluid behavior.
