| Research Abstract |
The relationship between Reynolds number Re and friction factor lambda at transition regime is affected by many factors such as relative roughness, roughness element shape and so on. The purpose of this research is to clarify the friction characteristics of rough wall passage at transition regime.
Experimental studies were carried out for two-dimensional channel roughened by two-dimensional roughness elements which were made by rectangle. The height of roughness element is much less than the length of element in the flow direction and similar to the height of that of rough wall practically used. The working fluid is an air. The friction loss and the velocity distribution in the channel are measured.
The relationship between Re and lambda, and the correlation between the equivalent sand roughness Ks and the arithmetic average roughness Ra are discussed.
The results obtained are as follow.
(1) The friction factor lambda decreases with increasing the Reynolds number at the transition regime as well as Colebrook's formula which is used in Moody chart.
(2) It seems that the influence of the roughness element located at a distance on the friction factor does not depend on only Ra. Therefore, the correlation between Ks and Ra is not determined.
