1. A boundary-layer pump comprising: a pump body configured to receive a rotor assembly, said rotor assembly comprised of an input shaft configured to rotate the rotor assembly and a laminar fluid flow channel, wherein said pump body has a proximal end proximal to the input shaft and a distal end distal to the input shaft, at least one primary inlet port and at least one primary outlet port and an adjustment cap, wherein the rotor assembly is comprised of at least one rotor disk positioned on a shaft-type rotor wherein each of the at least one rotor disks are alternately positioned from 0.000 to 0.010 inch spacing between a corresponding at least two stationary stator disks, wherein the at least two stator disks are separated by at least one disk spacer.
