TANGENTIAL  FRICTION  ON  THE WALL OF A CONTAINER WITH 
A SPHERICAL CHARGE AND FLUID MOTION THROUGH THE CHARGE

UDC 532.507+546

Viscous  tangential   stress  on  the  interior  wall of 
a container with  a spherical charge,  that  develops in 
filtration of an incompressible fluid through the charge 
is investigated. Based on an analysis of an experimental 
dependence of the dimensionless stress  on  the Reynolds 
number,  two  critical  Reynolds numbers are determined: 
the  first  number  corresponds  to  the beginning of an 
abrupt drop in the stress, and the second number, to its 
reaching  a  regime that  is  self-similar  in  velocity. 
Comparison with the theory permits interpretation of the 
effects of pseudoturbulence and turbulence, respectively.
