laminar or turbulent two-phase flow? -- CFD Online Discussion Forums

Atholl Guest Posts: n/a	Hi Everyone, I'm modelling two-phase flows with fluent, and I want to try out some of the non-Newtonian viscosity models. These models only work with the laminar viscous model, so I need to make sure that the respective phases are in the laminar regime before applying the models. Does anyone know how to determine via hand calculation the regime? I know its easy to calculate the phase superficial velocity and subsequent reynolds number, but I feel this isn't an ideal method. Does anyone know of another method? Thanks in advance, Atholl
