Question

Low value of Reynolds Number of a flow signify

• A. Laminar flow
• B. Turbulent flow
• C. Natural flow
• D. Non-uniform flow

Answer 1

The correct option is A Laminar flow

We know,
Reynolds Number = $\frac{\text{Inertial Force}}{\text{Viscous Force}}$
Reynolds number is low means viscous force dominated inertial force. Therefore, layer of water flow over one another and do not get mixed due to inertial force acting on it.
Hence, flow is smooth thus laminar flow.
