A laminar flow reactor (LFR) is a reactor that uses laminar flow to study chemical reactions and process mechanisms.

Laminar flow barriers Experimental chamber for studying chemotaxis in response to laminar flow.

Laminar flow cannot be used for pumping, because laminar turbines stall when not used at the designed flow.

In the linear laminar flow region, Poiseuille's law describes the hydraulic resistance of a pipe, but in the turbulent flow region the pressure–flow relations become nonlinear.
