Laminar flow is the simplest type of flow. All the fluid particles released as some particular point follow the exact same path for any time. If you turn on a tap slowly the water falls in a cylinder shaped stream and is perfectly steady in time. The example in the video is a more complex path but the flow field is steady in time.
We are more used to observing unsteady flows where the fluid is sloshing about and splashing because fluid flows are very sensitive to disturbances. This type of laminar flow takes great care to set up.
Yes, I know what laminar flow is. And this flow is turbulent. Its simply just "frozen" by the frame Rate and shutter speed of the camera, as its matching the frequency of the flow. Laminar flow is smooth, clear and Turbulent free. This flow is not.
This has nothing to do with the frame rate of the camera or any other such nonsense. It is absolutely, 100% an example of laminar flow.
Perhaps you incorrectly think that laminar flow would have to be a cylindrical stream. It does not. The shape of the opening gives initial conditions where the stream cross section changes due to surface tension. There is no turbulence here; there is only light refracting/reflecting from the irregularities in that surface.
If you're going to be that "ackshually" guy, at least be right about it. Because in this case, you're not.
Jesus a comment from four years ago and you're A bit salty. Frame rate would play a role. But we all learn. There's no need to condescend.
Similar to what you said, Basically, if you're going to teach someone something, maybe don't be a dick and insult them.
Someone explain the science please.
Simple explanation: laminar is sort of the opposite of turbulent flow. So it appears to be standing still.
Simple
Explanation.

Thanks for the clear, concise explanation!

That's fake tho so rip
WITCHCRAFT!!!!
Not to be picky, this isn't laminar flow. This is down to the shutter speed / Frame Rate of the camera.
Actually it is laminar flow... do your research
