Nombre de Reynolds. Sans entrer dans le détail de ses effets, car le phénomène est très complexe, nous dirons de ce nombre : - qu'il varie avec la forme du profil; - que son accroissement influe, à la fois, sur l'augmentation de la portance et sur celle de la traînée; - qu'il traduit le passage d'un régime laminaire à un régime turbulent et qu'en conséquence il a une relation certaine avec la finesse. 3, record 3, French, - influence%20du%20nombre%20de%20Reynolds
