In what way is laminar flow different than turbulent flow?

What will be an ideal response?


Laminar flow is flow in one direction, the fluid flowing in layers without crossing
over to other layers, while turbulent flow is an unpredictable flow where the
fluid is moving in all three directions. Typically turbulent flow does result in fluid
flow in a common direction but it is unpredictable except at a bulk, large and
long condition while laminar flow is predictable.
