DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN STREAMLINE FLOW AND TURBULENT FLOW

Streamline
flow
1.
A stream line flow is the flow in which each particle in the liquid moves in
the same path and has same velocity as that of that of its preceding particle.
2.
The process is regular.
3.
The velocity at every point within the liquid remains constant both in
magnitude and direction and it does not exceed the critical velocity.
4.
It does not cause eddies or whirlpools
5.
Example: Flow of liquid through a capillary tube.
Turbulent
flow
1.
A turbulent flow is the flow in which the particles moves in different
directions and with different velocities.
2.
The process is irregular.
3.
The velocity is not constant and it exceeds the critical velocity.
4.
It causes eddies and whirlpools.
5.
Example: Flow of liquid from a tap.
