I saw an interesting video today showing laminar flow, I want to understand how this happens but everything I looked up was too complicated for me.

Laminar flow is when any particle in a flowing fluid follows a predictable path and no erratic motion (turbulence, more or less random shaking and movement) occurs. It can look really pretty on camera under some nice conditions (where it approaches a “perfect” condition) but even things like running your sink can simulate the flow. It’s most characteristic of slow flows over small areas, but thick, viscous, fluids also show the behavior often show the behavior too.
