    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
