Give me some 6 differences between Streamline Flow and Turbulent flow. Whether Laminar flow and Streamline flow are one and the same?

Streamline flow has streamlines that is smooth direction of flow while turbulent flow has discontinuous, random direction of flow.

Streamline motion occurs at low velocities or at velocities lesser than the critical velocity of the liquid turbulent motion occurs at velocities beyond critical velocities.

Streamline  motions are mathematically treatable which gives solutions in closed forms turbulent motions are chaotic and closed form solutions does not exist.

Streamline motion arise because of viscosity non viscous (super liquids) are always turbulent.

Streamline motion in pipes obey Poiseuille’s law turbulent motion does not obey it.

Streamline motion occurs at low energies turbulent motion occurs at high energies.
