Turbulent Flow vs Laminar Flow
Examples of Laminar Flow
Lamborghini Reventon
This vehicle is extremely fast and aerodynamic due to the design of the car. This car has a smooth design which allows air to flow smoothly right over without any interuptions.
Water Tape
The reason a water tape demonstartes laminar flow is because when the tape is turned on the water travels fairly quickly. It has no interruptions unless you interfere with the exit of the tape which then makes it turbulent.
Sailfish
The fastest underwater creature with the speed of 110 kilometers per hour (68 mph). What helps this creature be so quick is the design of its body. Its very thin and smooth which allows water to quickly pass by without any delays.

Examples of Turbulent flow
Trucks
Trucks are not aerodynamic, they are very large vehicles that have a tough time cutting threw air. The reason trucks have a hard time cutting threw air is because of the design the vehicle, it doesn't have any smooth edges and the vehicle itself is immense which causes the air to have a tough time to get around it which then causes lots of eddies. That's why the speed of a truck isn't that fast because air simply cant pass by it smoothly.
Track Stars
The reason track stars demonstrates turbulent flow is because when track stars are running they run face to face with the air which causes the air not to travel smoothly around then which leaves a trail of eddies, and this can slow them down simply because the air cant travel around them slickly.
Parachute
Parachutes display turbulent flow because when the parachute is deployed the air gets trapped at the top of the parachute which creates a push upwards that works against gravity. When this happens the parachute slows down drastically and makes for a safe landing.
