I am very confused about the conditions for fluid to be considered as ideal. We were taught that for an ideal fluid, the conditions required are:

1) Streamline

2) Non-viscous

3) Incompressible

However, if we put the viscosity as 0 in the equation of Reynold’s no, it will result in infinity which suggests fluid to be fully turbulent (i.e Re>4000) which then doesn’t support fluid to be ideal. Please clear my confusion.
