Is Reynolds number is used to predict the turbulence?(a) True(b) FalseThis question was addressed to me in an online quiz.My question is taken from Turbulent Flow topic in chapter Incompressible Flow over Airfoils of Aerodynamics

Answer»

The CORRECT answer is (a) True

For explanation: The turbulence can be predicted by a dimensionless constant called Reynolds number, which calculates the balance between kinetic energy and viscous DAMPING in a fluid flow. However, turbulence has long resisted detailed PHYSICAL ANALYSIS, and the INTERACTIONS within turbulence create a very complex situation.
