Reynolds-number similarity: laminar ↔ turbulent transition at Re ~ 2300

Layer 1 — Physicsin the dimensional-analysis subtree

Reynolds 1883 (Phil. Trans. Roy. Soc. 174:935) injected dye into pipe flow and identified a threshold flow speed above which laminar streamlines give way to turbulence. Dimensional-analysis interpretation: from ρ, V, L, μ one forms…
