In the case of pipe flow, V is the mean velocity and L is the pipe diameter. In general, the transition from laminar to turbulent flow occurs between Reynolds numbers of 1,700-3,000, but the ...

Here, for this faster or larger scale motion, the flow pattern is changing all ... While the transition from laminar to turbulent flow occurs at a Reynolds number of approximately 2300 in a pipe, the ...

The flow is studied as a dynamical ... of the near and far wake topologies. During the transition of the system from a regular to a chaotic regime, the lift time signal shows intermittent irregular ...

explaining the nature of this transition. Even so, remarkable progress has been made in the past decade, and turbulence in pipe flow is finally yielding some of its secrets. Naively, one might ...
