Explore: Laminar Boundary Layers

boundary layer flow: laminar and turbulent. Laminar boundary layer flow The laminar boundary is a very smooth flow, while the turbulent boundary layer contains

unbounded boundary layers is whether the boundary layer is being substantially influenced by more than one wall. Each of the main types has a laminar, transitional

Laminar flow (/ˈlæmɪnər/) is the property of fluid particles in fluid dynamics to follow smooth paths in layers, with each layer moving smoothly past the

In engineering, boundary layer control refers to methods of controlling the behaviour of fluid flow boundary layers. It may be desirable to reduce flow

Boundary layers can be either laminar or turbulent. A reasonable assessment of whether the boundary layer will be laminar or turbulent can be made by calculating

mechanics, a Blasius boundary layer (named after Paul Richard Heinrich Blasius) describes the steady two-dimensional laminar boundary layer that forms on a

Falkner–Skan boundary layer (named after Victor Montague Falkner and Sylvia W. Skan) describes the steady two-dimensional laminar boundary layer that forms

In the field of fluid dynamics the point at which the boundary layer changes from laminar to turbulent is called the transition point. Where and how this

In fluid dynamics, the process of a laminar flow becoming turbulent is known as laminar–turbulent transition. The main parameter characterizing transition

characteristics. Turbulent boundary layers tend to be able to sustain an adverse pressure gradient better than an equivalent laminar boundary layer. The more efficient
