laminar flow

• Terme scientifique décrivant un écoulement de fluide régulier et ordonné, se déplaçant en couches parallèles sans perturbations ni turbulences, souvent étudié en physique et en ingénierie.

A scientific term describing a smooth, orderly fluid flow in parallel layers without disruption or turbulence, commonly studied in physics and engineering.

1. Smooth fluid motionC1formal

   A type of fluid flow where the fluid moves in parallel layers with no disruption between them, characterized by low velocity and high viscosity.

   • Laminar flow is often observed in honey pouring slowly from a jar.
   • Engineers design aircraft wings to maintain laminar flow for reduced drag.
   • In a pipe, laminar flow occurs at low Reynolds numbers.
