What is the equivalent of 1 gallon (US)/second in cubic meters per second?

1 gallon (US)/second equals 0.0037854118 cubic meters per second.

Can I use this conversion for turbulent flow rates?

This conversion assumes steady and uniform flow; turbulent or transient flows might require additional considerations.

Is this conversion valid for UK imperial gallons?

No, this conversion specifically applies to US liquid gallons per second, not the UK imperial gallon.
