Calculating the Reynolds Number

Re=(V*L*d)/v where: V=velocity cm/s


d=density g/cm^3
Put some reasonable numbers into the table L=length cm
below to calculate Reynolds number v=viscosity g/cm*s
For example: use stream velocities in the range of 0.5 to 50 cm/s
For example: use water depths in the range of 5 to 100 cm
(water has a density close to 1g/cm3, and a viscosity close to 0.01 g/cm*s)

Velocity (cm/s) density (g/cm^3) depth (cm) viscosity (g/cm*s) Re

Laminar flow is likely for Re < 2000. Otherwise, the flow is likely to be turbulent.
If you'd like to play around with some other fluids, try light oil at v=1, methyl alcohol at v=0.006
