November 26, 2013, 12:35	Transition Reynolds Number for flux inside a heat pipe	#1
MrDaimon New Member Gilberto Santo Join Date: Apr 2012 Location: Gent (Belgium) Posts: 18 Rep Power: 14	Hi everybody, I am simulating (using Fluent 12.1) a flux of oil in a heat pipe. Obviously the turbulence of the fluid influences the heat flux generated. I have Reynolds = 1911, which turbulence model is the best to use in this case? Should I use the laminar model? If no, which transition model is the best for my application? I hope I've been clear. Thank you all!
