Turbulent flow

Re
Laminar flow
Turbulent flow is an irregular condition of flow in which various
quantities such as velocity and pressure show random variations with
time and space coordinates. The physical y quantities are often
described by statistical averages. In this sense we can define a
“steady” turbulent flow: a flow in which the time-average physical
quantities do not change with time time. It is a flow that inertia forces
dominates the viscous forces.
A dye
y injected
j into a turbulent flow would mix immediatelyy byy the
action of the randomly moving fluid particle; it would quickly lose its
identity in this diffusion process.
y Laminar flow is an orderly state of flow in which viscous forces
dominates, and flow takes place as if fluid particles slide over each
other without significant
g mixingg of neigboring
g g fluid pparticles. If a dye
y
were injected into the flow, it would not mix with the neighboring fluid
except by molecular activity: it would retain its identity for a relatively
long period of time.
