Reynolds number represent the ration of intertial forces to viscous forces:

LaTeX Math Block

{\rm Re} = \frac{\rm Intertial \ Forces}{\rm Viscocus \ Forces}




Homogeneous fluid  flow


Homogeneous flow is characterized by the same phase velocities: 

LaTeX Math Inline
bodyu_\alpha = u_t, \, \forall \alpha \in \Gamma
 (no slippage) and the multiphase Reynolds number takes simpler form:

LaTeX Math Block

alignmentleft
{\rm Re} =\frac{ \sum_\alpha \rho_\alpha \, u_\alpha \, A_\alpha}
{\sum_\alpha \mu_\alpha \, \sqrt{A_\alpha} } =\frac{ \dot m}
{\sum_\alpha \mu_\alpha \, \sqrt{A_\alpha} } = \frac{\dot m}{\sqrt{A}} \cdot \frac{1}{ \sum_\alpha \mu_\alpha \, \sqrt{s_\alpha} }
