If we choose $$U$$ and $$L$$ appropriately for a given system,
the Reynolds number allows us to predict the general trends.

+It can be regarded as the inverse of an "effective [viscosity](/know/concept/viscosity/)":
when $$\mathrm{Re}$$ is large, viscosity only has a minor role,
but when $$\mathrm{Re}$$ is small, it dominates the dynamics.
Another way is thus to see the Reynolds number
as the characteristic ratio between the advective term
