If each particle of a fluid passing through a point follows the same path, then this flow is called
Correct answer: D. Streamline flow.
- A. Ideal flow.
- B. Normal flow.
- C. Turbulent flow.
- D. Streamline flow.
Explanation
The correct answer is streamline flow. In streamline or laminar flow, fluid particles move along well-defined paths or streamlines, and all particles passing through a point follow the same path. This is contrasted with turbulent flow, where the paths are chaotic and unpredictable.Ideal flow is a hypothetical flow with no viscosity, not directly related to the path of particles. Normal flow is not a recognized term in the context of fluid dynamics.

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.
