Turbulent Flow

Turbulent flow is a flow regime characterized where the flow is irregular and chaotic. Turbulent flow has a random pattern with cross flows. It has rapid variation of pressure and flow velocity in space and time. Flows at Reynolds numbers larger than 4000 are typically turbulent in nature. Flows in the range of Reynolds numbers 2300 to 4000 are in transition zone between laminar and turbulent flow.
