Calculation of minimum critical Reynolds number for laminar-turbulent transition in pipe flows
Electronic transactions on numerical analysis, Tome 30 (2008), pp. 168-186
This article describes the calculation of the minimum critical Reynolds number for laminar-turbulent transition in pipe flows. From the conclusions of our previous experimental study, it is clear that a transition occurs near the pipe inlet and the critical Reynolds number takes the minimum value of about 2000 in the case of a $\textcent $###$\sterling $straight pipe. Moreover, in our previous calculations of laminar entrance pipe flow, it was found that near the pipe inlet a large pressure gradient in the radial direction exists, which decreases as the Reynolds number Re increases.
