Kn = lambda/L
Hypothesis :
If Kn<<1, it is possible to use a model based on the continuum hypothesis
Hypothesis:
If Kn<<1, it is possible to use a model based on the continuum hypothesis
That hypothesis is often valid, but not always. Within this course's scope, this hypothesis is always valid.
## Types of flows
Three ways flows can be be split:
### (Un)Steady flows
Steady: flow variables do not depend on time.
d/dt = 0
### (In)compressible flows
A flox can be considered incompressible is the Mach number is low enough:
Let v be the flow velocity, c be the celerity of sound
Approx. M = v/c <= 0.3
### Turbulent or laminar flows
Turbulent flows : flow variable are stochastic and vary with space and time. This happens when the Reynolds number is high enough :
Re = rho*v*D/mu > 2500 (for a tube)
Turbulent flows happen often but we'll find ways get around it.
