Reynold no is the criteria for determining whether the flow is laminar or turbulent. It is the ratio of inertia force to viscous force. If viscous force is dominating to inertia force, the flow is laminar, and if inertia force is dominating to viscous force, the flow will be turbulent.

If Reynolds no is greater than 2300 (for flat plate) flow is considered as transition or trubulent.

Re No =intertia force/viscous force.

2300viscous force = inertia force.

i.e. Inertia force is greater than viscous force.

If viscus force dominating over inertia force the it called laminar flow.

If Inertia force dominating over viscus force then called laminar flow.

Reynold no = (inertia force/viscous force).

For turbulent flow inertia force is high.

Can anybody explain me how this answer come?
