👉 Fluid dynamics is the study of how fluids—liquids and gases—move and interact with their surroundings. The primary flows can be categorized into laminar and turbulent. Laminar flow is a smooth, orderly movement where fluid particles move in parallel layers, with minimal mixing between them. This type of flow is often observed at low velocities or in small-scale systems. In contrast, turbulent flow is characterized by chaotic, irregular motion where fluid particles move in a random, unpredictable manner, creating eddies and vortices. This flow typically occurs at higher velocities or in larger systems. Understanding these flows is crucial for applications ranging from designing efficient pipelines to predicting weather patterns and optimizing aircraft performance.
