Laminar flow is a condition of fluid motion where viscous (internal fluid friction) forces greatly
overshadow inertial (kinetic) forces. A flowstream in a state of laminar flow exhibits no turbulence,
with each fluid molecule traveling in its own path, with limited mixing and collisions with adjacent
molecules. The dominant mechanism for resistance to fluid motion in a laminar flow regime is
friction with the pipe or tube walls. Laminar flow is qualitatively predicted by low values of Reynolds
