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.
