In the present paper, some peculiar characteristics of transient laminar flow are discussed. After presenting a review of the existing literature, attention is focused on transient energy dissipation phenomena. Specifically, results of both laboratory and numerical experiments are reported, the latter by considering one-dimensional (1D) along with two-dimensional (2D) models. The need of modifying a criterion for simulating unsteady friction proposed some years ago by one of the writers, and extensively used for water-hammer calculations, is pointed out. Differences between accelerating and decelerating flows as well as between transients in metallic and plastic pipes are also highlighted.
