Laminar flow is also referred to as streamline or viscous flow.
These terms are descriptive of the flow
because, in laminar flow, (1) layers of water flowing over one another at
different speeds with virtually no mixing
between layers, (2) fluid particles move in definite and observable
paths or streamlines, and (3) the flow is characteristic of viscous (thick)
fluid or is one in which viscosity of the
fluid plays a significant part.
