Abstract

Puff splitting was studied by direct measurement of the full-lifetime (LTf ull ) of transitional structures (puffs) in low Reynolds number pipe flows. During the investigations, a fully developed laminar pipe flow was triggered by an iris diaphragm with pre-defined amplitude and lapse time and the evolution of puffs was monitored by the transients of pressure drop along the pipe and the hot wire anemometry at the pipe exit. Those complementary measurements showed that a single puff favors to breakdown into two or more (splitting) puffs and later into slug-like puffs at Re ≈ 2300, where they are expected to have infinite LTfull.
