Laminar flow is characterized by smooth, orderly motion of fluid particles in parallel layers, where there is minimal mixing between layers. In laminar flow, the fluid moves in a steady, predictable manner, and the velocity at any point in the fluid is constant over time. It typically occurs at low flow velocities and is observed in small diameter pipes or under low-pressure conditions. In laminar flow, the fluid's viscosity dominates, and the flow can be described using the Navier-Stokes equations. Turbulent flow, on the other hand, is characterized by chaotic, irregular fluid motion with eddies and vortices, leading to significant mixing between layers. This type
