Question

 How many regimes of fluid
flow do you know?
 What are the these regimes
called?

There are two regimes of fluid flow: laminar flow and turbulent flow.

In turbulent flow non-linear waves and vortices appear, while for laminar flow this never happens. The criterion for classification of flow regime is Reynolds number.
