Reynolds number for acid flow into the fracture (acidizing)
Input(s)
\(\rho\): Acid Density \(\left(\mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{ft}^{3}\right)\)
\(i\) : Injection Rate \(\left(\mathrm{ft}^{3} / \mathrm{min}\right)\)
\(\mu\): Viscosity of the Reacted Acid (lb/ft min)
\(h_{g}\): Formation Thickness (ft)
Output(s)
\(N_{R e}\): Reynolds Number (dimensionless)
Formula(s)
\[
N_{R e}=\frac{\rho i}{\mu h_{g}}
\]
