Nonlinear Equation for the Transition of A Flow to A Turbulent Regime

Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

We derive an equation that describes the transition of a liquid flow from a laminar to a turbulent flow regime and in which the nonlinear character of the equations of hydrodynamics is taken into account. The problem of the eigenvalues of the parameters of this equation for a nonviscous liquid flow is investigated. It is shown that, according to the nonlinear equation, transition to a turbulent flow regime occurs at higher velocities than in the case of the linear theory.
