Question

Explain the term Streamline flow.

Answer 1

flow of a fluid in which its velocity at any point is constant or varies in a regular manner. It can be represented by streamlines. Also called: viscous flow. Compare turbulent flow, See also laminar flow.

Answer 2

Dear Avirna,

◆ Streamline flow -

• Flow of fluid in which velocity is constant throughout the path is called streamline flow.
• In this condition, fluid flows in parallel layers without intermixing.
• Streamline flow is usually observed at lower velocities.
• Speed of inner parallel layers is always more than that of outer layers.
• Value of Reynolds number for laminar flow is usually small.

Hope this helped you. Thanks for asking..
