Laminar flow reactor each other like cards. When analyzing fluids with the same viscosity ("thickness" or "stickiness") but different velocity, fluids are typically characterized into two types of flows: laminar flow and turbulent flow. Compared to turbulent flow, laminar flow tends to have a lower velocity and is generally at a lower Reynolds number. Turbulent flow, on the other hand, is irregular and travels at a higher speed. Therefore the flow velocity of a turbulent flow on one cross section is often assumed to be constant, or "flat". The "non-flat" flow velocity of laminar flow helps explain the mechanism of an LFR.

Physics of Fluids former continued under its original name, "Physics of Fluids". "Physics of Fluids" was originally published by the American Institute of Physics in cooperation with the American Physical Society's Division of Fluid Dynamics (APS-DFD). In 2016, the American Physical Society founded its own journal "Physical Review Fluids". From 1985–2015, "Physics of Fluids" published the "Gallery of Fluid Motion", containing award-winning photographs, images and visual streaming media of fluid flow. Since 2016, the "Gallery of Fluid Motion" is published by the American Physical Society. With funding from the American Institute of Physics the annual "François Naftali Frenkiel Award" was established by the
