Location of Transition Point Formula Elements

Variables
Location Transition Point
The Location Transition Point is the specific position on a flat plate where the flow transitions from laminar to hypersonic, affecting the behavior of viscous flow.
Symbol: xt
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Transition Reynolds Number
The Transition Reynolds Number is a dimensionless quantity that characterizes the transition from laminar to turbulent flow over a flat plate in hypersonic conditions.
Symbol: Ret
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Static Viscosity
The Static Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow and deformation under shear stress, particularly relevant in hypersonic transition scenarios.
Symbol: μe
Measurement: Dynamic ViscosityUnit: P
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Static Velocity
The Static Velocity is the velocity of a fluid at a specific point in a flow field, measured relative to the surrounding fluid at rest.
Symbol: ue
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Static Density
The Static Density is the mass per unit volume of a fluid at rest, crucial for understanding fluid behavior in hypersonic flow conditions.
Symbol: ρe
Measurement: DensityUnit: kg/m³
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
