Study Notes
Types of Fluid Flow
- Streamline Flow: a smooth, continuous flow of fluid where particles move in parallel lines or layers, with no eddies or swirls.
Turbulent Flow
- Turbulent Flow: a chaotic, irregular flow of fluid where particles move in irregular paths, with eddies and swirls.
-
Conditions Required for Turbulent Flow:
- High velocity of fluid
- Low viscosity of fluid
- Large size of pipe or conduit
- Sudden changes in direction or obstacles in the flow path
This quiz covers the concepts of streamline flow and turbulent flow in fluid dynamics, including the conditions required for turbulent flow.
