(N/A) Laminar flow, also known as streamline flow, is a type of fluid flow in which the fluid particles move in smooth, well-defined paths or layers (streamlines) that do not cross each other.
In this type of flow, the velocity of the fluid at any given point remains constant over time.
Laminar flow typically occurs at low velocities and is characterized by a low Reynolds number $(Re < 2000)$.

Water falls from a tap,down the streamline. What happens to the cross-sectional area of the water stream?

Fountains usually seen in gardens are generated by a wide pipe with an enclosure at one end having many small holes. Consider one such fountain which is produced by a pipe of internal diameter $2 \ cm$ in which water flows at a rate $3 \ ms^{-1}$. The enclosure has $100$ holes each of diameter $0.05 \ cm$. The velocity of water coming out of the holes is (in $ms^{-1}$):
