Reynold's number describes the ratio of inertial forces to viscious forces. This means greater viscosity means less Reynold's number, which means more laminar flow.
But then in a boudary layer of an airfoil, the airflow is turbulent(high Reynold's number) yet very viscious so how does this work? What am I missing? Thanks in advance. ![]() |
