This formula uses 5 Variables
Variables Used
Reynolds number using chord length - Reynolds number using chord length, where the length is usually the chord length of an airfoil or the chord length of a wing. The chord length of a wing may vary from root to tip.
Static density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Static density, is the density of the fluid when its not moving, or the density of fluid if we are moving relative to the fluid.
Static Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Static velocity is the velocity of fluid at a point in the fluid, or velocity in the continuous flow.
Chord Length - (Measured in Meter) - Chord Length is the length of a line segment connecting any two points on the circumference of a circle.
Static Viscosity - (Measured in Pascal Second) - Static viscosity, is the viscosity of continuous flow, viscosity measures the ratio of the viscous force to the inertial force on the fluid.
