John Holahan was asked if there was a Reynolds number for the IDDSI flow test...
What is a Reynolds number? It’s a fascinating subject, which is all too often hidden behind walls of complicated equations by some scientists and engineers - I'll try not to do that!...
The answer to “Is there an associated range of Reynolds numbers” is: No, there’s not a known range of values out there.
The longer answer starts with What is Reynolds number anyway? Well it is a little calculation which is widely used to predict whether a fluid’s flow will be *turbulent (=swirly)* or *not (“laminar”)*.
Things that make a situation more likely to be turbulent (according to Reynolds) are: if it’s flowing faster, if it’s low viscosity, and if it’s flowing in a big unrestricted space.
Try this at home! Stir a little milk into your cup of coffee or tea - it swirls around. Try it with thickened coffee, tea, anything - it is very unlikely to be swirly. In the first case the Reynolds number would be very high because of the low viscosity, but thicker liquids in that same situation would have a much lower Reynolds number - not turbulent.
Back to the question: Reynolds number depends on the liquid AND how it’s being used: so if you have a big bucket of mildly thick liquid and you throw it off a rooftop - you can bet that would be turbulent. But when a little bit of it is flowing slowly through our IDDSI flow test (or through a drinking straw): not turbulent.
In some (science lab) situations you would calculate a specific value for the Reynolds number, but that’s not really applicable for thick drinks and swallowing because there are so many things which can’t be pinned down: the speed of flow varies hugely, the viscosity is non-Newtonian so that’s not one value, and there aren’t fixed dimensions / geometry of where the fluid is flowing (cup / beaker / spoon / mouth / esophagus...).
So that's why the answer was No, there's not a Reynolds number for swallowing, or the IDDSI flow test. Phew :-)

I was asked a question about the IDDSI beverage levels and the IDDSI Flow Test that I didn't have an answer for. 😯
What’s the Reynolds Number of an IDDSI thickened beverage? Anyone have any insights?
Ben Hanson, maybe?
Do you recognize this can? No, MRC is not getting into the beverage market, but if you remember these from your time in the service, let us know in the comments. Share your stories, the more outlandish the better! #MilitaryLife#ServiceMemories#VeteranCommunity#MilitaryStories
Conduct a trial run of your menu
Testing your new menu before official launch is crucial to gather feedback and necessary adjustments.
Hosting a soft lunch or a series of tasting event can provide valuable insights into your menu’s appeal and functionality.
You can see how well the new menu works in the kitchen and how well the menu pleases your guests.
Challenges of the modern beverage market 🌍🍻
The challenges for #breweries and beverage companies are more #diverse than ever before. Customers now expect a wide #variety of beer options in relatively short time frames. It is crucial for breweries to be flexible and able to adapt quickly. Additionally, increased prices are posing new challenges for beverage producers in general. Fortunately, with ProLeiT as your strong partner, you can overcome these obstacles. Discover what our Sales Manager Breweries & Distilleries, Markus Hauf, has to say about these important topics. 🚀
