In fluid dynamics, if every particle passing through a given point undergoes in an irregular pattern and fluctuation, then this type of flow is called a
Correct answer: C. Turbulent flow
- A. Steady flow
- B. Laminar flow
- C. Turbulent flow
- D. Streamline flow
Explanation
The correct answer is 'turbulent flow.' This type of flow is characterized by chaotic changes in pressure and velocity, leading to irregular patterns and fluctuations as described in the question. Steady and streamline flows involve smooth, consistent paths for particles, while laminar flow is characterized by smooth flow in parallel layers. None of these match the irregularity and fluctuation described, leaving turbulent flow as the correct 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.
