When I studied engineering, we would calculate something called the Reynolds number. Ignoring for a moment (ba dum bump) what it’s actually used for, I always felt like it was an indicator of natural realism. There was a sweet spot of Re values where the phenomenon (waves, for example) *looked* plausibly real. Outside that range, things just looked… wrong.
