1.Streamline flow
In this type of flow, the fluid molecules in all the layers travel in the same direction with the same speed. The molecules move along paths called streamlines. In streamline flow, the streamlines are parallel to each other.
For a fluid to have streamline kind of flow, the following conditions are necessary:
-The fluid must be non-viscous so that the velocity of the fluid at all points along the tube is the same.
-The fluid must be incompressible so that the density of the fluid is the same at all points.
2: Turbulent flow
When an obstacle is placed on the path of the streamlines, the molecules will hit the barrier, lose some of its energy and may then change direction. This can lead to a disturbance of some sought resulting in formation of eddies or whirls. This is referred to as turbulent flow.
3: Laminar flow
This is where all the molecules in each layer move with the same velocity but different from that of the other layers i.e. each layer has its own velocity
