Video Summary of Laminar flow and Reynolds number

Laminar flow is when a fluid flows in a smooth, continuous stream. The Reynolds number is a dimensionless parameter that helps to determine whether the flow will be laminar or turbulent. When the Reynolds number is low, the flow will be laminar. When the Reynolds number is high, the flow will be turbulent.
