Journal of engineering physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The experimental results are presented for a study of the turbulence intensity, coefficient of intermittence, and average velocity profile during the transition of the laminar flow of an aqueous dispersion of bentonite clay to turbulent flow. A calculation of the critical value of the Reynolds number is offered.
