For ___________ flow the path of the fluid particles cannot be tracked?

Correct answer: C. Turbulent

  • A. Laminar
  • B. Streamline
  • C. Turbulent
  • D. Both A and B

Explanation

Turbulent flow contains irregular eddies, so the motion of individual fluid particles is difficult to follow or predict. Laminar and streamline flow have smooth, orderly paths, which is why laminar flow is the likely mistaken choice.

About Fluid Flow

Fluid flow covers pressure, density, viscosity and the motion of liquids and gases through pipes or open channels. It includes the continuity equation, Bernoulli equation, streamline and turbulent flow, and the effects of changing area, height and speed. Viscosity and ideal fluid assumptions must not be confused with pressure effects.
