slipstream brings up a good point. Perhaps someone here can produce two blocks that we can test this out. The blocks would have to be of equal surface area. This would obviously be a constant.
The first block would be a high flow block with parallel channels. This could be done by using a design such as Xjinn's or a maze style block with multiple channels running parallel.
The second block would be a maze design that is one long maze using narrow channels.
The pump to do this should obviously be a fairly high powered pump. I have a 500 gph 7.5 psi pump that would be plenty strong so that it would not be a bottleneck when testing these. To put that into perspective, it can pump water straight up for almost 20 feet.
The high velocity of the narrow channeled block may indeed address the subject of this thread which is laminar flow and turbulence. I think it's worth a try and I would be more than happy to help make this work.
