Irregular flow of fluid is called_______________?
Correct answer: B. Turbulent
- A. Streamline
- B. Turbulent
- C. Uniform
- D. Laminar
Explanation
Irregular flow with eddies and rapidly changing velocity is called turbulent flow. Students may choose streamline because it is also a type of fluid motion, but streamline flow is smooth and ordered rather than irregular.

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.
