Keep. Article needs work certainly, and likely renaming, but this seems to be a well-documented phenomenon in fluid dynamics literature. Related to turbulence and laminar flow but I'm not an expert in this area. Tagging for expert attention. Ivanvector (talk) 20:23, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The dynamics of pipe flow is a well-studied phenomenon in fluid dynamics and hydraulics; this article is about the transition region as fluid enters a pipe. The idea of a transition region and the associated entrance length are well known in the field, being covered in textbooks and sites like BrightHub. The article is well-written, but could use better sourcing. We might consider renaming the article to Entrance length, which is often the main quantity of interest in the transition to fully developed flow. We already have an article on the related thermal entrance length, but this article is about the hydrodynamic aspect. --Mark viking (talk) 20:35, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
