The water moves in parallel tracks with minimal mixing and turbulence. Ensuring laminar flow is often critical to precise flow metering, for example. This isn’t [Joshua]’s first attempt.

There are two main types of fluid flow - laminar flow, in which the fluid flows smoothly in layers, and turbulent flow, which is characterised by chaotic motion and large amounts of mixing. In ...

Boeing plans to reduce airframe drag on the 787 by standardising on a specific thickness of grey paint for the engine inlet, to preserve natural laminar and boost range.
