Principles of Physics I
Laminar flow is a type of fluid motion characterized by smooth, orderly layers of fluid that move parallel to each other, allowing for minimal mixing between the layers. This flow occurs at low velocities and is dominated by viscous forces, leading to predictable and stable fluid behavior. In various physical scenarios, laminar flow plays a significant role in understanding the effects of friction and drag, fluid pressure distribution, energy conservation in fluid dynamics, and heat transfer mechanisms.
congrats on reading the definition of laminar flow. now let's actually learn it.
