Question

what is laminar flow?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

In fluid dynamics, laminar flow is characterized by fluid particles following smooth paths in layers, with each layer moving smoothly past the adjacent layers with little or no mixing. At low velocities, the fluid tends to flow without lateral mixing, and adjacent layers slide past one another like playing cards.

Answer 2

Laminar Flow :-

• In this type of flow fluid particles goes along well defined streamlines. Those lines may be straight or parallel.

• Magnitude may be different at different Velocity points.

• Direction will always be parallel.

• As the direction is parallel so layers will smoothly slide over the adjacent layer.

Turbulent Flow:-

• It is an irregular flow and in this particles move in zig-zag direction.

• There will eddy formation due to the zig-zag way.

• There will be very high energy loss due to the formation of eddy formation.
