Abstract: Definitions Laminar flow is streamlined and directly proportional to the pressure difference. Turbulent flow is a flow without stable streamlines, and it is not directly proportional to the pressure difference. Laminar flow in a cylindrical channel can be seen as a set of steady state parallel streamlines of different velocities. Radial velocity profile is described by a parabolic function – zero – at the wall and the maximum value in the center equals twice the mean velocity. Streamlines in a turbulent flux are not stable. Flow character is determined by means of the Reynolds number Re.
