Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
En un cauce las partículas del fluido se desplazan siguiendo trayectorias relativamente suaves y bien definidas sin que se produzcan mezclas transversales significativas. El flujo es laminar cuando su número de Reynolds es inferior a 500-2000 en el caso de flujo en cauce, o inferior a 1-10 en el caso de flujo en un medio poroso. 1, record 1, Spanish, - flujo%20laminar
