The key criterion for determining whether a medium is laminar or turbulent is the Reynolds number, which compares the energy associated with inertia to that associated with viscosity. The former depends on the density ($\rho$), the mean Speed of Fluid ($v$), and the typical Dimension of the System ($R$), while the latter depends on the viscosity ($\eta$), defining it as:
