The precise dynamics of breakdown in pipe transition is a century-old unresolved problem in fluid mechanics. We demonstrate that the abruptness and mysteriousness attributed to the Osborne Reynolds ...

Turbulence is one of the great mysteries of modern science. It is also one of the most important, as most of the flows we’re interested in are turbulent. In some applications, such as industrial ...

Figure 1: Localized and fully turbulent flow. At flow rates larger than those sustaining the regime of localized turbulent patches, the situation is fundamentally different: once triggered, turbulence ...

Journal of Urban and Environmental Engineering, Vol. 8, No. 1 (January to June 2014), pp. 3-10 (8 pages) Abstract: At this study an attempt for the theoretical approach of the Reynolds number effect ...
