Fluid flow regimes

Created by Arthur Aslanyan (Nafta College), last modified on Nov 25, 2019

Fluid Dynamics differentiates three major fluid flow regimes based on the Reynolds number $\begin{array}{l}\rm Re\end{array}$ :

Laminar flow regime

Transitional flow regime

Turbulent flow regime

(1)	$\begin{array}{l}\displaystyle {\rm Re} < 2,000\end{array}$

(2)	$\begin{array}{l}\displaystyle 2,000 < {\rm Re} > 4,000\end{array}$

(3)	$\begin{array}{l}\displaystyle 4,000 < {\rm Re} > 50,000\end{array}$
