Laminar flow, where water moves in approximately straight-line paths, characterizes ________.
a. fast-moving streams
b. slow-moving streams
c. the edges of channels
d. the bottoms of channels
e. All of these

In Fluid Mechanics, the Reynolds numbers indicates the existence of turbulence in fluid streams. Low Reynolds numbers are related with laminar flow. The Reynolds formula is:

[tex]Re = \frac{\rho_{water} \cdot L_{c}}{\mu_{water}} \cdot v[/tex]

The Reynolds number is directly proportional to fluid speed. Hence, slow-moving streams are a sound example of laminar flow. The correct answer is B.
