Properties of Laminar Flow

Laminar flows posses the following properties:

• They are stable against externally introduced disturbances, especially against short wave disturbances.
  
• They show a high degree of orderliness and are not characterized by stochastic irregularities.
  
• They posses a small diffusivity, only molecular diffusion is present.
  
• can be analytically computed for simple flow geometries.
  
• is to be computed numerically for complex flow geometries.
