• Relaminarisation and pipe flow

    From Dieter Britz@21:1/5 to All on Fri Dec 11 13:36:37 2015
    Is there anybody home here?

    I have a question. I have read some papers on relaminarisation
    of flow in a pipe, e.g. after a bend in the pipe. Someone who
    worked on this told me once that this hints at there not being,
    theoretically, a limit on Re for laminar flow in a pipe, and
    turbulence in a pipe is due to roughness etc.

    Is this true? Or is it thought true by some fluid mech people?
