The Efficient Engineer - Fluid Mechanics - Understanding Laminar and Turbulent Flow 08092020

There are two main types of fluid flow: laminar flow, in which the fluid flows smoothly in layers; and turbulent flow, which is characterised by chaotic motion and large amounts of mixing. The video explores the differences between these two flow regimes. The video covers how Reynolds number can be used to predict which flow regime will occur for a specific set of flow conditions. And it looks at laminar and turbulent flows in pipes, and how the flow regime affects the pressure drop in a pipe.
