The dependence of Reynold?s number on the parameters of fluid flow can be inferred from dimensional analysis. First show that it is not possible to construct a dimensionless number out of the viscosity ?, density ?, and speed v of a fluid flow. Next show that if a length scale K characterizing the object is introduced, the dimensionless combination is that of eq. (29.23)
