Reynolds analogy

The Reynolds analogy is a relation in convective heat transfer equating the Stanton number to half the skin friction coefficient, useful for estimating wall heat transfer from drag.

Reynolds equation

The Reynolds equation is a differential equation governing pressure in the thin lubricant film between two surfaces in relative motion, formulated by Osborne Reynolds in 1886.

Reynolds number

The Reynolds number (Re) is a dimensionless quantity in fluid mechanics measuring the ratio of inertial to viscous forces, which determines whether a flow is laminar or turbulent.

Reynolds stress

Reynolds stress is the mean force per unit area that turbulent velocity fluctuations impose on the mean flow, a tensor introduced by Osborne Reynolds in 1895.

Reynolds stress model

The Reynolds stress model is a turbulence closure that solves transport equations for each Reynolds stress component, capturing anisotropy effects like swirl and secondary flow at higher cost than eddy-viscosity models.

Reynolds syndrome

Reynolds syndrome, also called PACK syndrome, is a rare autoimmune overlap of primary biliary cholangitis and limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis, first described by Telfer B. Reynolds in 1971, with onset at ages 30-65, mainly in women.

Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations

The Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations, known as the RANS equations, govern the mean velocity and pressure of turbulent flow, with the fluctuations supplied by a turbulence model.

Reynoutria

Reynoutria Houtt. (1777), knotweed genus of Polygonaceae, native Russian Far East to East Asia; includes Japanese knotweed (R. japonica); synonymy with Fallopia disputed, molecular data support separate status.
