I am trying to calculate the Reynolds number for the flow shown in the picture. As you can see in the attached picture, the flow expands into a larger diameter and then confines into a smaller diameter. Could anyone please tell me how to calculate the Reynolds number in the highlighted region? is the flow laminar or turbulent in that region?
Also, what turbulence model would be suitable for that flow? Please feel free ask any questions. https://ibb.co/QmM9pn5 |

You have about 10^3 for the exiting flow and increases while expanding in the larger section. Flow is turbulent there. |
