Fluid Dynamics - Part 3 Boundary Layers

The notion of the boundary layer was introduced to describe thin viscous layers that form on a rigid body surface in otherwise inviscid flow of a fluid with small viscosity. The book begins with the classical theory of the boundary-layer flows. However, its focus is on recent results of the theory invaluable in describing fluid-dynamics phenomena.

List of contents

• 1: Classical Boundary-Layer Theory


• 2: Boundary-Layer Separation


• 3: Trailing-Edge Flow


• 4: Incipient Separation Near Corners


• 5: Marginal Separation Theory
