Laminar Flow

/ˈlæm.ɪ.nər floʊ/noun
ELI5 mode

Laminar flow is a type of fluid motion where the liquid or gas moves in smooth, parallel layers without mixing or eddying, creating a streamlined and predictable path. This orderly behavior is essential in fields like engineering and biology to reduce friction and enhance efficiency, but it can easily shift to chaotic turbulent flow with increased speed or obstacles.
