A mathematical explanation of the transition between laminar and turbulent flow in Newtonian fluids, using the Lie groups and finite element methods

In this scientific work, we use two effective methods : Lie groups theory and the finite element method, to explain why the transition from laminar flow to turbulence flow depends on the variation of the Reynolds number. We restrict ourselves to the case of incompressible viscous Newtonian fluid...
