Streamline flow:
The flow of a fluid is said to be streamline (also known as steady flow or laminar flow), if every particle of the fluid follows exactly the path of its preceding particle and has the same velocity as that of its preceding particle when crossing a fixed point of reference.
Turbulent flow:
The flow of a fluid is said to be turbulent or disorderly, if its velocity is greater than its critical velocity. Critical velocity of a fluid is that velocity up to which the fluid flow is streamlined and above which its flow becomes turbulent. When the velocity of a fluid exceeds the critical velocity, the paths and velocities of the fluid particles begin to change continuously and haphazardly. The flow loses all its orderliness and is called turbulent flow.

What is the difference between a slide and a flow?
"The basic difference between slides and flows is that slides initially move as a unit with little or no deformation within the sliding mass, whereas flows are thoroughly deformed internally during movement."-Alan E. Kehew 9Geology for engineers & Environmental Scientists)
The difference between occlusive and non occlusive thrombus?
occlusive means stopped or so much narrowing . non occlusive means smoothly flow ,no hemolysis
Differentiate between open channel flow and pipe flow-?
The open channel flow has a free surface whereas the pipe flow has a closed surface.
What is the difference between surface runoff and through flow?
Throughflow is the tranfer of water through th soil. Surface runoff is the transfer of water where the soil is impermeable so the transfer of water is on top of the soil.
What is the difference between a critical point and control point?
A Control Point or "CP" is any step in the flow of food where a physical, chemical or biological hazard can be controlled. Where as A Critical Control Point or "CCP" is the last step where you can intervene to prevent, eliminate or reduce a hazard to an acceptable limit.
Which Objects reduce turbulent flow over water and air?
To reduce turbulent the key is to have streamlined shape of an object.
Why are high-speed vechiles are streamlined?
Due to streamlined shape, flow of the air around vehicle remains streamline and does not turn turbulent at high speed of vechile. This turn turbulent at high speed of vehicle. This helps in smooth running of vehicle.
What is the difference between laminar and turbulent flame patterns?
In laminar flow, easy to define the burning velocity, independent of the measuring apparatus within reasonable limits whereas not possible to turbulent flow.
High speed vechiles racecaraeroplane are streamlined. why?
Due to streamlined shape, flow of the air around vehicle remains streamline and does not turn turbulent at high speed of vechile. This turn turbulent at high speed of vehicle. This helps in smooth running of vehicle.
What happen if Reynolds number is increased?
flow become turbulent. for ex. if Re <2000 flow is turbulent and if Re >4000 flow is turbulent and if RE is in between these values the flow is in transition region
What is turbulent flow?
Turbulent flow
An irregular fluid flow is what?
Irregular Fluid Flow is called Turbulent Flow! I hope this helped! :D
Would you prefer turbulent flow or laminar flow for whitewater rafting?
As we know, whitewater rafting is in water, in which turbulent flow would be best in the case. Generally because the water will NOT be straight, and this activity is where the water flow is rather rough then smooth. Overall, turbulent flow is best used in this scenario.
How is turbulent flow different from laminar flow?
gago..
Why poiseuille equation not applied to turbulent flow?
Coz poiseuille eq is for poiseuille flow, which is a laminar flow, not turbulent flow. And it also need to be a fully developed , pressure driven flow.
What are some examples of turbulent flow?
a block, Ping Pong ball or golf ball, kite, or simply running in the shallow pool. There are alot of things that have turbulent flow..... ping pong balls do not have turbulent flow nor does golf balls it has laminar flow things that have turbulent flow would be a bus, a hand out the window in a y axis or just a simple building or sky scrapper basically anything with a flat surface has turbulent flow
What are disadvantages and advantages of turbulent flow?
Advantage: objects in a turbulent flow experience less drag. Disadvantage: turbulent flows are unstable meaning velocity and pressures change rapidly. The objects in the flow have less stability. The flow also is more difficult to model then a laminar flow.
