Streamline flow:
In streamline flow, the flow behaves ideally, exhibiting minimal resistance to motion.
This occurs when the flow encounters a wall at an angle, creating a curved boundary layer surrounding the object.
The boundary layer acts as a smooth, frictionless surface, allowing the flow to pass effortlessly over the object's surface.
Streamline flow is observed in laminar flows, where the flow remains smooth and orderly.
Turbulent flow:
In turbulent flow, the flow exhibits significant resistance to motion, exhibiting turbulent behavior.
This occurs when the flow encounters a wall at an angle, but the boundary layer is disrupted, creating eddies and swirls.
The turbulent flow is characterized by high levels of randomness and uncertainty, and the fluid exhibits a random and unpredictable motion.
Examples of turbulent flows include wind around a building or water flowing in a river
