Abstract
Initiation of turbelence is associated with disturbances of finite intensity [1]. Some attempts, as in [2], have been made to treat this region analytically. The nonuniformity of the local stability * of laminar fluid flow over the tube cross section has been established experimentally [3,4, 1]. On this finding is based the interpretation of a number of turbulent transition phenomena, including a characteristic singularity of the relationship between the resistance coefficient of rough tubes and the Reynolds number under transient conditions [5].
Expression (1.1) introduced as a measure of stability, and the criterion q* yield satisfactory quantitative results.
