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

This lesson plan includes the objectives, prerequisites, and exclusions of the lesson teaching students how to model the motion of viscous liquids that can have a uniform laminar flow or a nonuniform turbulent flow.

Objectives

Students will be able to

  • model the laminar flow of a viscous fluid that flows along a rectangular-prism-shaped channel,
  • use 𝜇=𝐹𝐴Δ𝑦Δ𝑣 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 𝑅=𝑑𝑣𝜌𝜇 to calculate the Reynolds number of a flow in a pipe.

Prerequisites

Students should already be familiar with

  • the fact that 𝜌𝐴𝑣=𝜌𝐴𝑣,
  • fluid streamlines.

Exclusions

Students will not cover

  • Stokes’ law.
