We consider the turbulence flow as a non-laminar flow. Turbulence occurs when the velocity of the fluid increases with the decrease in its velocity. So, when this variation in its laminar fluid flow occurs, this is the turbulent flow or turbulence nature. Now, on melting, it starts flowing very quickly in varying directions. Let’s suppose that you kept an opened ghee packet under the Sun. These all eating items have high viscosity. In another example, we discussed honey, ghee, peanut butter, milk butter, and so on. So, do you know how laminar flux varies and turns to turbulence? If you don’t know, let’s understand this in detail:ĭo you know why a laminar flow turns to a non-laminar flow? In the above example, we discussed an application of aerodynamics for the laminar flow. So, the more is the viscosity, the more is the laminar flow, and the more is the laminar flux. This smooth forward movement is the result of the laminar flow. However, when the viscosity of the liquid is higher like honey, peanut butter, milk butter they all have a higher viscosity and when they flow after melting, their layers remain intact, and therefore, all the particles to remain in close vicinity with each other, without leaving their exact lattice point (imaginary) while making movement in the forward direction. So, here, laminar flow is one of the applications in the mechanics of air. We see an airfoil, which carries a pressure difference however, the flow remains laminar, and this pressure difference allows the wings of an aeroplane to lift up. In aerodynamics, the same concept applies to dynamic lift. So, when there is a pressure difference in the below and the above layer of the laminar fluid, the velocity difference also occurs. Whenever a fluid flows in a pipe, the velocity of the laminar fluid flow remains to change that’s what we can observe in the above figure. Let’s look at the visual representation of the lumina flow:Ī laminar flow in a liquid depends on the two following factors: Laminar flow occurs at lower velocities and high viscosity. When a fluid flows via a closed channel such as a pipe or between two flat plates, the laminar flow may occur depending on the velocity, viscosity of the fluid, and the size of the pipe. The terminology ‘streamlined flow’ is descriptive of the laminar fluid flow because, in laminar flow, layers of water flow over one another at varying speeds with virtually no mixing between layers, fluid particles move in definite and observable paths or streamlines just like the marching of Indian Army. We call the laminar flow a streamline or viscous flow. In Laminar flow, the fluid flows in parallel layers with lesser lateral mixing and no disruption between the layers. In fluid dynamics, laminar flow is a smooth or regular movement of particles of the fluid. While driving when you encounter a turn on the left or right of the road, the laminar flow becomes a non laminar flow. You can think of the laminar flow of liquid as the straight road (free of turns). These particles have a smooth movement as we walk on a smooth road. In a fluid, for laminar flow, all the particles carry constant attributes like velocity, pressure, and speed. This page discusses laminar fluid flow, lamellar flow, non-laminar flow, lumina flow, and laminar flux in detail. If in this case ants deviate from their path and make two directions, then it is the non-laminar flow. So, don’t you think this is a laminar flow? Yes, that’s true.Ī laminar flow in fluid mechanics is the straight or linear flow of all the particles of the fluid that is similar to the marching of an ant. The successive ants smell this chemical and march-like an army. You know that an ant releases an invisible, fragrant chemical called Pheromone.
