CBSE: Class 12

Definition: Streamline / Steady Flow

When a liquid flows such that each particle passing through a specific point follows the exact same path at the same speed as the particle before it, this type of flow is called streamline flow or steady flow.

CBSE: Class 12

Definition: Turbulent Flow

When a liquid flows such that particles passing through a given point have different velocities from the predecessor, such a flow is called turbulent flow.

CBSE: Class 12

Key Points: Streamline vs Turbulent Flow

  • Flow is streamline when velocity is low (parallel, orderly layers).
  • Flow turns turbulent when velocity exceeds critical velocity (disordered, mixing layers).
  • At low velocity → dye filament stays parallel in pipe (laminar).
  • At high velocity → dye filament breaks and spreads (turbulent).
