SUMMARY
The fully developed velocity profile for turbulent flow is characterized by a flatter shape compared to the velocity profile for laminar flow. In turbulent flow, the velocity decreases significantly near the wall due to increased friction and chaotic fluid motion. This contrasts with laminar flow, where the velocity profile is parabolic and more uniform across the cross-section of the flow. Understanding these differences is crucial for fluid dynamics applications.
