(TURBULENT) When the Reynolds number $(R_e)$ exceeds $2000$,the flow of the fluid is considered to be turbulent.
In turbulent flow,the fluid particles move in an irregular,chaotic,and unpredictable manner.
This type of flow is characterized by the formation of eddies,vortices,and fluctuations in velocity at any given point in the fluid.
Unlike laminar flow,where fluid layers slide smoothly over each other,turbulent flow involves significant mixing and energy dissipation due to internal friction.
