The final lecture on turbulent and laminar flows focuses on turbulent flow in smooth pipes and presents mathematical equations to describe the velocity distribution. It discusses rough pipes, estimating roughness height with practical examples and introduces integrations to calculate average velocity in both smooth and rough scenarios. The lecture emphasizes key equations and problem-solving in hydraulic engineering.

Term: Turbulent Flow
Definition: A type of flow in which the fluid undergoes irregular fluctuations and mixing.
Term: Velocity Distribution
Definition: The variation of fluid velocity across the cross-section of the pipe.
Term: Roughness Height (k)
Definition: The average height of surface irregularities of a pipe which affects flow resistance.
Term: Logarithmic Profile
Definition: A mathematical representation of velocity distribution in turbulent flow, particularly valid at high Reynolds numbers.
