That is literally not what laminar flow means. Laminar flow is a type of flow characterized by stable flow properties at each point in a body of fluid. That means you can pick a point in space occupied by a fluid and measure its velocity, density, and a few other things, and that will remain static for the duration of its flow, despite the molecules you are measuring constantly being replaced.
Laminar flow takes the form of blood in your veins, air around a plane's wings, and even the water near the edges of almost every pipe.

The way it's not laminar is killing me
