The discussion revolves around the relationship between turbulence and the Reynolds number, specifically questioning the assertion that complete turbulence is independent of the Reynolds number. Participants are exploring concepts related to fluid dynamics and the Moody diagram.
The discussion is ongoing, with some participants seeking clarification on the concepts presented. There is an indication that guidance has been offered regarding the relationship between the friction factor and the Reynolds number, but no consensus has been reached on the interpretation of these concepts.
Participants are referencing specific materials and diagrams, such as the Moody diagram, to support their inquiries. There is an emphasis on understanding the conditions for complete turbulence and the role of pipe roughness in this context.

First, it's discussing the friction factor f as it's plotted on the Moody diagram:
In the zone where the flow is completely turbulent, i.e. to the right of the dashed line, the friction factor is constant w.r.t. the Reynolds number. In this region, the friction factor f depends on the relative pipe roughness only.
Can you explain this phenomenon?SteamKing said:You're not correctly comprehending what this slide is saying.

this is the book that i use . can you expalin why during the complete turbulent , it is independent of reynold number ?SteamKing said:
