Variables Used

Reynolds Number - Reynolds number is the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces within a fluid which is subjected to relative internal movement due to different fluid velocities.
Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Density of a material shows the denseness of that material in a specific given area. This is taken as mass per unit volume of a given object.
Fluid Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Fluid velocity is the volume of fluid flowing in the given vessel per unit cross sectional area.
Characteristic Length - (Measured in Meter) - A characteristic length is usually the volume of a system divided by its surface.
Dynamic Viscosity - (Measured in Pascal Second) - Dynamic Viscosity of a fluid is the measure of its resistance to flow when an external force is applied.
