Laminar flow
 Viscous shears dominate in this type of flow and the
fluid appears to be moving in discreet layers. The
shear stress is governed by Newton’s law of viscosity

du

dy
 In general the shear stress is almost impossible to
measure. But for laminar flow it is possible to
calculate the theoretical value for a given velocity,
fluid and the appropriate geometrical shape.

13
Turbulent flow
 This is the most commonly occurring flow in engineering
practice in which fluid particles move erratically causing
instantaneous fluctuations in the velocity components.
 These fluctuations cause additional shear stresses. In this
type of flow both viscous and turbulent shear stresses exists.
 Thus, the shear stress in turbulent flow is a combination of
laminar and turbulent shear stresses, and can be written as:

dU
   la min ar   turbulent     
dy

where  = dynamic viscosity

 = eddy viscosity which is not a fluid property but depends upon
turbulence condition of flow.

Head Loss in Pipes due to Friction
The head loss due to friction in a
given length of pipe is proportional
to mean velocity of flow (V) as
long as the flow in laminar. i.e.,
H f V

But with increasing velocity, as the

flow become turbulent the head
loss also varies and become
proportion to Vn

H f V n
Where n ranges from 1.75 to 2

CRITICAL REYNOLD’s NUMBER
R = 2000
crit
 If R < 2000 -> Laminar Flow
 If R > 2000 -> Turbulent Flow
 Though the experimenters have maintained
laminar flow in circular pipes upto values
of R as high as 50,000, but the type of flow
in such cases is inherently unstable and the
least disturbance will transform it instantly
into turbulent flow
 It is practically impossible for turbulent
flow in a straight pipe to persist at values
of ‘R’ much below 2000
 The low value is thus much more definite
than the higher one and is real dividing
point between the two types of flow
 Lower Value -> true critical Reynold’s

 Sample Problem 8.1: In refinery oil (s= 0.85, v = 1.8 x 10-5 m2/s) flows
through a 100 mm diameter pipe at 0.50 L/s. Is the flow laminar or turbulent?

 Ex. 8.2.1: Oil with kinematic viscosity of 0.00015 ft2/sec is flowing through a
3-in diameter pipe. Below which velocity will the flow be laminar?

 Ex. 8.2.2: Oil with kinematic viscosity of 0.185 St (1 Stoke=10-4 m2/s) is

flowing through a 150-mm diameter pipe. Below which velocity, will the flow
be laminar?

 Ex. 8.2.3: Oil with kinematic viscosity of 0.0035 ft2/sec is flowing through a 4-
in diameter pipe with a velocity of 15 fps. Is the flow laminar or turbulent?

Hydraulic radius, Hydraulic diameter

 For conduits having non circular cross sections, we need to

use some value other than the diameter for the linear
dimension in the Reynolds number.
 The characteristic dimension we use is the hydraulic radius
Rh=A/P

 Full Pipe Flow:

 The hydraulic radius is a convenient means for expressing

the shape as well as the size of the conduit, for the same
cross sectional area, the value of Rh will vary with the shape
 Hydraulic diameter: D = 4R
