In this video, I convert the Navier-Stokes equation for an incompressible, Newtonian fluid to a dimensionless form. The Reynold's number comes up as one of the parameter groups that results from the nondimensionalization.
Any questions/comments? Leave them below and I'll get back to you!
Prereqs: Previous nondimensionalization video. Even though Navier-Stokes is mentioned, you don't need to know much Fluid Mechanics. It helps to know about Reynold's number, but the lesson is basically a giant exercise in algebra so not knowing some of the dimensionless parameters won't screw you over. Some really basic knowledge of partial derivatives also helps.
