Laminar Flow

In fluid dynamics, Laminar flow is characterized by fluid particles characterized by high momentum diffusion and low momentum convection. The fluid tends to flow without lateral mixing and adjacent layers slide past one another like playing cards at low velocities. When a fluid is flowing all the way through a closed channel such as a pipe or between two flat plates or, either of two types of flow may occur that depends on the viscosity and velocity of the fluid: laminar flow or turbulent flow. Even if a boundary layer of air "sticks" to a wing, the air overtop should be moving quickly and smoothly to lessen friction drag. Common applications of laminar flow is in the smooth flow of a viscous liquid through a tube or pipe, air over an aircraft wing, slow, smooth and optically transparent flow of shallow water over a smooth barrier.
