FLOWS OF FLUIDS

Streamline flow  It that flow of liquid in which every particle of the liquid follows exactly the path of its preceding particle and has the same velocity in magnitude and direction as that of its preceding particle while crossing through that point.

Laminar flow  It is that steady flow in which the liquid moves in the form of layers.

Turbulent flow  It is that flow of liquid in which a liquid moves with a velocity greater than its critical velocity.

Critical Velocity  It is that velocity of liquid flow upto which the flow of liquid is a streamlined and above which its flow becomes turbulent.
