laminar

Definitions

Examples

• The vehicle’s blimpy shape and rear propeller are designed to create an aerodynamic phenomenon called laminar flow, in which the air travels in smooth layers over the craft.

• The arms are sheathed in rigid plates, separated by a series of narrow laminar plates, by which power of movement is obtained.

• The tassets are replaced by laminar cuissarts extending to the knee, below which the suit is not continued.

• The latter has advanced far into the corium, and is now provided with abundant secondary laminar ridges (Mettam).

• This variety is a compound of felspar and quartz, so arranged as to produce an imperfect laminar structure.

• Laminif′erous, consisting of lamin or layers; Lam′iniform, laminar.
