Description

This lecture introduces the concept of the Reynolds number as a dimensionless value that determines whether a flow is laminar or turbulent. It explains how systems with the same Reynolds number exhibit similar flow characteristics, and discusses the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces. The lecture also covers mass flow, continuity equations, and the application of global continuity equations for incompressible fluids.
