Fluid flow characterized by the gliding of fluid layers (laminae) past one another in an orderly fashion. [Definition standardized by ISO.] 4, record 1, English, - laminar%20flow
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
... the fluid particles or "streams" tend to move parallel to the flow axis and [do] not mix. 3, record 1, English, - laminar%20flow
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
This behavior is characteristic of low flow rates and high viscosity fluid flows. As the flow rate increases (or viscosity significantly decreases), the streams continue to flow parallel until a velocity is reached where the streams waver and suddenly break into a diffused pattern. This point is called the critical velocity. 3, record 1, English, - laminar%20flow

Record 1, Textual support, French
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 DEF
Écoulement d'un fluide caractérisé par le glissement de couches de fluide les unes par rapport aux autres de façon bien ordonnée. [Définition normalisée par l'ISO.] 6, record 1, French, - %C3%A9coulement%20laminaire
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Il existe une vitesse limite supérieure définie par la combinaison de grandeurs physiques dont le résultat est le nombre de Reynolds. L'écoulement laminaire est stable, lorsque les forces dues à la viscosité du fluide restent grandes devant les forces dues à son inertie (faibles valeurs du nombre de Reynolds). Dans ce cas, la perte de charge est proportionnelle au débit. 7, record 1, French, - %C3%A9coulement%20laminaire
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Dans un cours d'eau, les particules de fluide se déplacent le long de trajectoires à peu près bien définies, relativement régulières, sans mélange transversal notable. Le nombre de Reynolds est inférieur à 500-2000 pour un écoulement dans un cours d'eau et inférieur à 1-10 pour un écoulement en milieu poreux. 8, record 1, French, - %C3%A9coulement%20laminaire

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
