Threshold amplitudes for transition to turbulence in a pipe
Although flow in a circular pipe is stable to infinitesimal perturbations, it can be excited to turbulence by finite perturbations whose minimal amplitude shrinks as $R \rightarrow \infty ~(R =$ Reynolds number). Laboratory experiments have appeared to disagree with one another and with theoretical...
