Critical Reynolds Number
5 Attachment(s)
Hi,
I'm trying to get the critical Reynolds number to know when it goes from laminar flow to turbulent flow. To reach this, I am simulating with the following characteristics: - Transient flow - Laminar flow - Flow over a 2D cylinder - Diameter: 48mm - Density: 1,225 kg / m3 - Viscosity: 0.001852kg / s m My doubt lies that when I simulate low Reynolds numbers, it is clear that it is a laminar flow com can be seen in the following photo: -Re = 75 Attachment 74009 But as I increase the Reynolds number, increase the speed, an intermediate flow begins to be created but I don't know at what specific point it is a turbulent flow, and thus get the critical Reynolds number. In the following photos you can see different numbers of Reynolds: -Re =85 Attachment 74003 -Re =100 Attachment 74005 -Re =127 Attachment 74006 -Re =159 Attachment 74007 Therefore, what I want to know is if there is any tip that I can rely on to know when a flow is laminar or turbulent. |
