Taking account of experimental observations on the transition process, an elementary theory is developed for estimation of propagation velocity of the rear end of turbulent slugs and streaks which constitute a major feature of the transition process in pipe flow. The theory gives a lower propagation velocity than observed experimentally within the lower range of transition Reynolds numbers while at higher Reynolds numbers the theory gives a value about 7% higher than obtained experimentally. These deviations are due to approximations in the analysis which cannot be avoided at the present level of information on the structure of turbulent shear.
