Question

Is stokes exhibit at Reynolds number much less than 1?

(a) True

(b) False

The question was posed to me in quiz.

My question is from Laminar Flow in division Incompressible Flow over Airfoils of Aerodynamics

Answer 1

Right answer is (a) True

To elaborate: The Reynolds number is very small, much less than 1, then the fluid will exhibit stokes, where the viscous forces of the fluid dominate the inertial forces. The specific calculation of the Reynolds number, and the values where laminar flow occurs.
