nineteenth century. To determine whether a flow is laminar or turbulent, the Reynolds number
is used. This experiment aims to observe turbulent flow, transition zone flow, and laminar flow
as well as carry out calculations related to these flows. It may take place in two very distinct
types in both laboratory experiments and the natural world: laminar and turbulent. Layers of
fluid particles slide over one another in laminar flows, resulting in a small energy exchange
between layers. In fluids moving at a slow velocity and having a high viscosity, laminar flow
occurs. On the other hand, the turbulent flow is characterized by the fluid's random movement
and mixing of particles, as well as a significant exchange of energy throughout the fluid. Fluids
with a high velocity and low viscosity exhibit this type of flow. The flow state is categorized by
the dimensionless Reynolds number. The classic experiment known as the Reynolds Number
Demonstration is based on slowly and steadily injecting dye into a pipe to see how the flow
behaves.
