| | Must have a different electrical engineering term. Couldn't find that definition in the dictionary. But I still like the term. | | | |

Actually it is from fluid dynamics, although we use it to describe airflow over our chips. | | | |

| It basically means flow of a liquid or gas which is smooth (i.e. not turbulent). This almost never happens in real life except at very low flow rates. When pouring a bottle of wine flow is definitely turbulent until the wines stops being restricted by the neck (the gluggle gluggle at the beginning of the pour). It may then become laminar with careful pouring.
Fluid Dynanics. Brings back memories from the junior year of Chemical Engineering. | | | |

| | Yeah, you are probably right, I thought thatt at the bottom side of bottle during pour, it would be laminar caused by the force of the wine above it, but you are right, the pour does tend to be turbulent. | | | |
