Lecture 4 Flashcards
1
Q
Velocity Boundary Layer Definition
A
A region of fluid flow near a solid surface where the fluid velocity transitions from zero to the free stream velocity of the fluid
2
Q
What is the condition that affects the fluid velocity at a velocity boundary layer?
A
The No-Slip Condition at the solid boundary causes the velocity at the plate to be zero.
3
Q
No-Slip Condition Characteristics
A
It slows adjacent layers via friction.
Fluid velocity is zero relative to the surface due to viscosity
