According to generally accepted ranges cited for pipe flow, which Reynolds number range defines the transitional flow regime?
Answer
Between 2300 and 3500.
The transitional regime, where flow exhibits characteristics of both laminar and turbulent states, is commonly cited as falling between Reynolds numbers of 2300 and 3500 for typical pipe flow studies.
