We learned that Reynolds number is given by Re=ρvavDηRe=ρvavDη  where ρρ, vavvav and ηη are the density, average speed and viscosity of the fluid, and DD is the diameter of the channel. The viscousity of blood at normal body temperature is 3.0×10−3 Pa⋅sPa⋅s and the density is 1060 kg/m3kg/m3 . In order to figure out if the blood flow is laminar or turbulent, we need to determine the diameter and the average blood flow speed. If we measured the radius of the aorta to be 0.50 cmcm and the average blood flow rate in the aorta to be 6.5×10−4 m3/sm3/s , what then is average fluid velocity vavvav flowing in the aorta?
