Shocks at Re 100
Hi,
Does anybody know of any physically possible flow at Reynolds number between 100-200 and has shock waves or is compressible ? Is it possible in compressors or gas turbines ? thanks |

And what length scale are you using for the Reynolds number?

Just to clarify my opinion, I think that for real fluid (i.e., not-vanishing viscosity) there is never a schock wave if we consider that as same as the singularity developed in case of ideal gas (inviscid flow).
The Re number governs the width of the "shock layer", a zone of deep gradient but with regular solution |
I think your assumption is a reasonable one, but the OP is somewhat confusing to me. I'm trying to imagine a turbine or compressor where the operating Re is so small. That's why I asked.
