• Streamline

  • In the flow of fluids, the path or flow of the fluid particles is called streamline.
• Laminar flow

  • If fluid particles are moving steady in smooth paths in layers, with each layer moving smoothly past the adjacent layers with no mixing; such a flow is called laminar flow.
• Turbulent flow

  • If the flow or path of the fluid particles are irregular, their direction is always changing or whirling; this fluid movement is called turbulent flow.
