Question

If the Reynolds number is less than 2000, the flow in pipe is -

A.

Transitional from laminar to turbulent

B.

Turbulent

C.

Inviscid

D.

Laminar

Correct option is D


If the Reynolds number is less than 2000, the flow in a pipe is considered laminar. In laminar flow, the fluid particles move in parallel layers with minimal mixing between them. This type of flow is characterized by smooth, orderly motion and occurs at low flow velocities. As the Reynolds number increases beyond 2000, the flow can transition to turbulent, where chaotic and irregular fluid motion dominates.
