Mixed Turbulent Laminar Flow

04/24/18

“What happens when a fluid flow neither turbulent nor laminar?”

 

Fluids are usually thought of having either turbulent or laminar flow. However, it is possible to exhibit both characteristics, making it in the Mixed Turbulent Laminar Flow. This usually happens when a fluid enters a plate and has a Reynolds Number between 5*10^6 and 1*10^7.
