What is Laminar flow?

This is a type of fluid, generally in a gaseous or liquid state. Laminar flow is a type of flow-through which the fluid moves effortlessly or in regular paths, indifference to turbulent flow, during which the fluid suffers irregular vibrations and mixing. Laminar flow is also called streamline flow. During this flow, the speed, pressure, and other flow properties in the fluid remain constant. Over the horizon surface, Laminar flow is considered containing thin layers, or laminae, all parallel to each other. Even though the water or fluid in relation to the horizontal surface is still, all the other layers slide over each other.
