Understanding Fluid Flow: Laminar, Turbulent, and Pressure
Understanding Fluid Flow
Non-viscous flow can be classified as:
- Laminar Flow: Flow without significant mixing of particles but with significant viscous shear. If a dye is injected, the flow does not mix with the fluid except for molecular activity. It retains its identity over a relatively long period of time.
