Calculate the Reynold's number. As a rule of thumb, any Reynold's number < 2000 is considered laminar, 2000<Re<4000 is transitional, and above 4000 is considered turbulent.

Re = (velocity)*(diameter)*(density) / (viscosity)

velocity = 2 m/s

diameter = 3 inches (0.0762 m)

density = 1000 kg/m3

viscosity = 1x10-3 N*s/m2

Re = (2 m/s)*(0.0762 m)*(1000 kg/m3)/(1X10-3N*s/m2)

= 152,400

So,I would guess that you would have turbulent flow in this pipe.

What is the red colour fluid which is present in laminar air flow?

aminar Flows Laminar air flows can maintain a working area devoid of contaminants. Many medical and research laboratories require sterile working environments in order to carry out specialised work. Laminar Flow Cabinets can provide the solution.Why Laminar Flow Cabinets? Laminar Flow Cabinets create particle-free working environments by projecting air through a filtration system and exhausting it across a work surface in a laminar or uni-directional air stream. They provide an excellent clean air environment for a number of laboratory requirements.Uses Laminar Flow Cabinets are suitable for a variety of applications and especially where an individual clean air environment is required for smaller items, e.g. particle sensitive electronic devices. In the laboratory, Laminar Flow Cabinets are commonly used for specialised work. Laminar Flow Cabinets can be tailor made to the specific requirements of the laboratory and are also ideal for general lab work, especially in the medical, pharmaceutical, electronic and industrial sectors. How They Are Made Laminar Flow Cabinets, or laminar air flow cabinets as they are also known, are normally made of stainless steel with no gaps or joints thereby preventing the build-up of bacteria from collecting anywhere in the working zone. Laminar Flow Cabinets are also known as clean benches because the air for the working environment is thoroughly cleaned by the precision filtration process.How They Work The process of laminar air flow can be described as airflow where an entire body of air flows with steady, uniform velocity. Laminar Flow Cabinets work by the use of in-flow laminar air drawn through one or more HEPA filters, designed to create a particle-free working environment and provide product protection. Air is taken through a filtration system and then exhausted across the work surface as part of the laminar flows process. Commonly, the filtration system comprises of a pre-filter and a HEPA filter. The Laminar Flow Cabinet is enclosed on the sides and constant positive air pressure is maintained to prevent the intrusion of contaminated room air.
