Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In which condition is turbulent flow most likely to occur?
  • Step 1: Understand what turbulent flow is. It is a type of fluid flow that is chaotic and irregular.
  • Step 2: Know the two main forces in fluid flow: inertial forces (which push the fluid) and viscous forces (which resist the flow).
  • Step 3: Realize that when the flow rate is high, the inertial forces become stronger.
  • Step 4: Recognize that when inertial forces are stronger than viscous forces, turbulent flow is more likely to happen.
  • Step 5: Conclude that turbulent flow occurs at high flow rates.
