organized in ordered layers

A distinct flow regime that occurs at low Reynolds number (Re 2000). It is characterized by particles in successive layers moving past one another without mixing.

Smooth, non-turbulent. Often used to describe cloud formations which appear to be shaped by a smooth flow of air traveling in parallel layers or sheets.

Wall or ceiling mounted water flow, controlled by remote tap handles.

Used to describe flat, sheet-like ground water flows that migrate laterally along the upper surface of a confining layer of soil or rock.

Laminar flow means the fluid is moving in smooth layers around the object. Air flow becomes turbulent moving from the front to the rear of the car, forced around obstructions such as mirrors, helmets, and roll-bars.

In the form of a thin layer(s) of sedimentary rock which is of different mineralization or lithology and is visually separable from the host rock or other laminae. Laminae of sand or other permeable sediment sometime show unusually high productivity. Laminae of clay, sandwiched between layers of a host rock, not only support overburden but also take the place of some of the host rock and whatever porosity the host rock would contain.
