For Laminar Flow we have terms and definitions in 7 topics. The topics are Airfoil, Hunting, Microbiology, Physical Geography, Plastics, Plumbing and Sanitation.

Laminar Flow (Airfoil)

State of fluid flow, where the particles move along parallel, ordered paths. Results in low friction on submerged surfaces, but has problems to follow retreating shapes (e.g. fuselage tails, airfoil behind location of maximum thickness). see also: Turbulent Flow.

Laminar Flow (Hunting)

Slow, smooth flow, with each drop of water traveling a smooth path parallel to its neighboring drops. Laminar flow is characteristic of low velocities, and particles of sediment in the flow zones are moved by rolling or saltation.

Laminar Flow (Microbiology)

Nonturbulent flow of air in layers (flowing in a vertical direction in the case of a biosafety hood).

Laminar Flow (Physical Geography)

Movement of water within a stream that occurs as uninterrupted parallel flows. Laminar flow generally occurs in areas where friction is low.

Laminar Flow (Plastics)

Laminar flow of thermoplastic resins in a mold is accomplished by solidification of the layer in contact with the mold surface that acts as an insulating shell through which molten material flows to fill the remainder of the cavity.

Laminar Flow (Plumbing)

Streamline flow in a fluid near a solid boundary

Laminar Flow (Sanitation)

The flow of a viscous fluid in which particles of the fluid move in parallel layers each of which has a constant velocity but is in motion relative to its neighboring layers. Also called streamline flow, viscous flow.
