1. Physics 201: Lecture 27, Pg 1
Types of Fluid Flow
Laminar flow
Each particle of the fluid
follows a smooth path
The paths of the different
particles never cross each
other
The path taken by the
particles is called a
streamline
Turbulent flow
An irregular flow
characterized by small
whirlpool like regions
Turbulent flow occurs when
the particles go above some
critical speed
