Explanation:

Critical velocity is that velocity of liquid flow up to which its flow is

 streamlined and above which its flow becomes turbulent.

Hence the critical velocity of a liquid is that velocity of flow above which the flow ceases to be streamlined.

\({v_c} = K\frac{\eta }{{\rho r}}\)

Where η is the coefficient of viscosity, ρ is the density of the liquid and r is the radius of the tube. K is constant, known as the Reynolds number.
