Definition

Design and active or passive techniques applied to aerodynamic surfaces intended to delay or sustain laminar boundary-layer flow over portions of a body (through shaping, suction, surface smoothing, compliant surfaces or distributed microstructures) to reduce skin-friction drag and thus improve aerodynamic efficiency in regimes where laminar flow is practically maintainable.
