Lower resistance vessels = higher/lower flow rate?

Higher
Increased viscocity= increased/decreased velocity?

Decreased
The elemants that affect the developement of turbulent flow are expressed by a "dimensionless" number called -----?

Reynolds Number (RE)
RE= Vq2r / n

What do these symbols stand for?
- RE=reynolds number
- V=velocity
- q=density of fluid
- r=radius of the tube
- n=viscosity of fluid
