The velocity at which the laminar flow stops is known as

The velocity at which the laminar flow stops is known as Correct Answer Lower critical velocity

Concept:

Critical Velocity

Critical Velocity is the maximum velocity of a fluid, above which, the streamline flow get the change to turbulent flow.

  • Lower critical Velocity
    • It is the velocity at which the laminar flow stops.
    • In this, the flow enters from laminar to transition period which exists between the laminar and turbulent flow.
  • Upper Critical velocity
    • It is the velocity at which the turbulent flow starts.
    • In this, the flow enters from the transition period to turbulent flow.
