Steady flow

Steady flow is a type of liquid flow in which

• The liquid flow is smooth and uniform.
• The velocity of the fluid at a point remains constant with respect to time.
• The streamlines do not cross each other.
• The equipotential lines do not cross each other.
• Eulerian Velocity is time independent

The Reynolds number can be used to determine the state of fluid flow.

R_e < 1000 : Steady Flow

1000 < R_e < 2000 : Unsteady Flow

R_e > 2000 : Turbulent Flow
