Laminar versus Turbulent Flow
Types of Flow:
Laminar Flow
Its a fast, smooth and regular type of flow. For example the car in the diagram has a laminar flow because it allows the fluids to move quickly with less energy. It also doesnt cause Eddies
Come to find out which type of Flow is better.
Turbulent Flow
Turbulent Flow is a choppy and irregular type of flow that is more rough and slower than Laminar Flow. For example in the image on the side it shows the air bounce in all diffrent directions and a different pattern.
Airplane Uses Both Flows :O
Airplane ( Laminar Flow)
An airplane uses laminar flow and turbulent flow. It uses laminar flow because it glides and flows through the air and through the wind. It allows the airplane to have a higher speed and to travel more smoovely.
Airplane (Turbulent Flow)
An airplane also uses Turbulent flow. It uses turbulent flow because the jets attached to the plane which pushes the plane forward. This works for any aircraft with jets or prepellers.

Another example of turbulent and laminar flow. In this picture it shows the airplane cutting throught the air ( Laminar Flow ) and being pushed forward ( Turbulent Flow).
