Fluid Mechanics
Reynolds Number Calculator
Compute the Reynolds number to determine whether pipe or channel flow is laminar, transitional, or turbulent. Useful for selecting friction-factor correlations, sizing pipes, and predicting heat-transfer or mixing behavior.

Fluid Mechanics
Darcy-Weisbach Pressure Loss Calculator
Compute friction pressure loss in a pipe using the Darcy-Weisbach equation, the rigorous standard for all Newtonian fluids and flow regimes. Useful for pump sizing, pipe sizing decisions, and verifying pressure budgets in process and HVAC systems.
