What various fluid particles move in Zig-Zag paths, flow is called: Correct Answer Turbulent flow

Explanation:

  1. Laminar flow: is a type of flow in which the fluid particles move along well-defined paths or streamline and all the streamlines are straight and parallel. It is also called streamline flow or viscous flow. 
  2. Turbulent flow: is that type of flow in which fluid particles move in a zig-zag way. Due to the zig-zag movement of fluid-particle eddies formation take place which is responsible for high energy loss. 

Additional Information

  • Non-uniform Flow: When the fluid properties change with respect to space, the type of flow is known as Non - uniform flow.
  • Steady Flow: When the fluid properties do not change with respect to time, then the flow is known as steady flow.
  • Unsteady flow: When the fluid properties change with respect to time, then the flow is known as unsteady flow.
  • Rotational flow: When the fluid particles rotate about their center of mass, then the flow is known as rotational flow.
    • The flow of liquid through a long pipe of constant diameter at a constant rate is a steady uniform flow
    • The flow of liquid through a long pipeline of constant diameter, at either increasing or decreasing rate, is unsteady – uniform flow
    • The flow of liquid through a tapering or conical pipe at a constant rate is steady non – uniform flow
