What Are the Challenges in Studying Transitional Flow?
One of the primary challenges in studying transitional flow is its inherently unstable and unpredictable nature. Unlike laminar or turbulent flow, transitional flow does not have a well-defined structure, making it difficult to model and simulate. Additionally, the transition from laminar to turbulent flow can be influenced by numerous factors such as reactor geometry, fluid properties, and flow rate. This complexity requires advanced experimental techniques and computational models to accurately characterize and predict the behavior of transitional flow in catalytic processes.
