Abstract

New experimental results at the onset of turbulence in a gravity-driven pipe flow are presented, and a simple phenomenological model is introduced to describe the intermittent behavior observed. In this model slugs are stochastically produced at the pipe inlet, and the decrease in velocity due to turbulent friction is taken into account The present approach shows that stochastic arguments account well for several experimental observations at low intermittency factors. In particular, it is shown that special intermittency routes to chaos are not needed to explain the exponentially decaying inverse cumulative distribution of laminar times.
