Types of Fluid Flow#
Fluids exhibit different types of flow depending on various factors like velocity, pressure, and external forces. The major types of fluid flow are:
Laminar Flow: Flow where fluid moves in smooth paths or layers.
Turbulent Flow: Flow where the fluid undergoes irregular fluctuations and mixing.
Steady Flow: The fluid properties at any point remain constant over time.
Unsteady Flow: The fluid properties change over time.
