Laminar Flow (/ˈlæmɪnər/) The property of fluid particles in fluid dynamics to follow smooth paths in layers, with each layer moving smoothly past the adjacent layers with little or no mixing.
Laminar Flow works are informed by observing non-chaotic flow patterns in water, clouds, smoke, or a well trimmed sail. For instance in a stream where ribbons of water can be seen flowing over submerged rocks, creating smooth standing wave patterns. In these designs, I imagine wave patterns that capture an instant in time where the different braids of flow are interacting with each other to create a sense of frozen motion.
