Physics Asked by Domenico Bagnato on February 20, 2021
Suppose a fluid passes from having laminar flow, to having a turbulent flow (like when passing after an object). How do fluid speed and fluid density change after that?
Velocity;
In the case of pipe flow, the velocity remains constant simply through continuity, and the losses are influencing only to pressure.
In the open channel flow the velocity depends on up- and downstream conditions, and can therefore even be higher after the object, but also lower if the object causes a hydraulic jump.
Density;
In the pipe flow the density is influenced only through the thermal expansion caused by the pressure turning to heat.
In the open channel flow the density can change quite a lot if air entrainment occurs.
The Turbulence has only indirect influence to density.
