Hi there,
I want to know about the straight pipe lengths, upstream and downstream the Arduino turbine flow meter, to accurately measure the flow. In this case, the fluid is water at ambient temperature.
Thank you.

Check this:
"For optimum flow meter performance a minimum length of upstream and downstream piping is required. It is recommended that a minimum length equal to 10 pipe diameters of straight pipe be installed directly on the upstream side of the flow meter and 5 pipe diameters on the downstream side of the flow meter.
This helps to eliminate turbulence in the fluid".
The question is, Arduino has some recommendations for its flow meter?
(Please spycatcher2k, do not answer if you do not know about fluid mechanics. Thank you anyway).

If @spycatcher2k had not replied there would be no way to help you. Your "question" does not make sense (and you did post in the wrong section).
Chastising someone who is trying to help seems rather foolish to me. But, if you think doing that is going to get you closer to an answer then that is your prerogative.

...the Arduino turbine flow meter...
Does Arduino sell flow meters?

This is an installation problem, the essence of your question is entirely sensible, anybody who knows anything about fluid mechanics would know what you are talking about, and the note in reply #2 is common practice.
What is not sensible is this
Arduino has some recommendations for its flow meter?
Perhaps you are referring to some sort of Arduino starter kit which happens to include your sensor. Arduino just reads data arriving at its pins, and has no idea about what is sending it.
You will find plenty of us users of turbines on this forum.

You have neglected to provide link or datasheet to the hardware you are talking about. Which flow meter?
