Definition: Streamline Flow

That flow of a liquid in which each element of the liquid passing through a point travels along the same path and with the same velocity as the preceding element passes through that point is called streamline flow.

Definition: Streamline

The path, straight or curved, the tangent to which at any point gives the direction of the flow of liquid at that point is called a streamline.

Definition: Laminar Flow

If a liquid is flowing over a horizontal surface with a steady flow and moves in the form of layers of different velocities which do not mix with each other, then the flow of liquid is called laminar flow.

Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Definition: Turbulent Flow

When a liquid moves with a velocity greater than its critical velocity, the motion of the particles of liquid becomes disordered or irregular. Such a flow is called turbulent flow.

Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Key Points: Fluids in Motion

Type of Flow Key Characteristic
Streamline Flow Each element follows same path with same velocity as the preceding element
Laminar Flow Liquid moves in layers of different velocities; layers do not mix
Turbulent Flow Occurs when velocity exceeds critical velocity; motion becomes disordered/irregular
