Lesson: Laminar and Turbulent Flow of Viscous Fluids Physics • Second Year of Secondary School

Join Nagwa Classes

Attend live Physics sessions on Nagwa Classes to learn more about this topic from an expert teacher!

In this lesson, we will learn how to model the motion of viscous liquids that can have uniform laminar flow or nonuniform turbulent flow.

Students will be able to

model the laminar flow of a viscous fluid that flows along a rectangular-prism-shaped channel,
use to calculate the dynamic viscosity of a fluid that flows along a rectangular-prism-shaped channel,
describe how viscosity of a fluid affects the turbulence of the flow of the fluid,
use to calculate the Reynolds number of a flow in a pipe.
