Question

Is laminar flow occurs when fluid flows in parallel layers?

(a) True

(b) False

I have been asked this question in an interview for internship.

My doubt stems from Laminar Flow in section Incompressible Flow over Airfoils of Aerodynamics

Answer 1

The correct option is (a) True

To explain I would say: In fluid dynamics, laminar flow occurs when fluid flows I parallel layers, with no disruption between the layers. At low velocities, the fluid tends to flow without lateral mixing, and adjacent layers slide past one another like playing cards.
