Laminar and turbulent flow on dripping blood

[helpmehelpme]

Can laminar and turbulent flow be used to explain dripping blood? Be it blood dripping from a weapon/ impacting on an uneven surface?

Welcome to the PF.

I would think most of the flow is laminar and viscous (until the impact you mention), but I'm no expert in fluid flow (you will get replies from those experts here as well). What reading have you done about your question? Here is an article that you may find helpful:

I would not refer to a dripping liquid as "flowing", no.

I'm unclear about the question. What are you trying to explain about dripping?
