Answer:

The laminar flow is generally given in high viscosity fluids such as honey or oil, it has the characteristic of flowing in an orderly manner, the walls of the tube have a zero speed while in the center it has a maximum speed.

turbulent flow is characterized by fluid velocity vectors presenting themselves in a disorderly manner and in all directions.

I attached the drawings for the velocity profile in laminar and turbulent flow.
