Streamlined airflow in which the entire body of air within a designated space moves with uniform velocity in one direction along parallel flow lines. In the context of a building's air space, the smooth, non-turbulent flow of air through the air handlers.
Uniform direction movement of air. Laminar airflow is generally associated with fume hoods or biological safety enclosures that utilize this characteristic to capture and carry away airborne particles.
The smooth, continuous movement of one layer of gas or liquid over another.
Nonturbulent flow of air in one direction at a uniform speed.
