Thermal & Momentum Boundary Layer

Thermal and Momentum Boundary Layer The Boundary Layer theory was first proposed by L.Prandtl in 1904. Boundary layer theory determines the aerodynamic drag (FD) and aerodynamic lift by analyzing hydrodynamic boundary layer formation in flying vehicles. Boundary layer theory has great applications in heat transfer enhancement, i.e., thermal boundary layer formation analysis. The study of hydrodynamic and thermal boundary layer formations over the solid surface shows the relationship between fluid flow’s frictional resistance and heat transfer characteristics, also the study of thermal and momentum diffusivity facilitates understanding of the relationship between frictional resistance of the fluid and heat transfer. In the discussion of boundary conditions in fluid dynamics, the fundamental concept lies in the interaction of velocity and temperature layers in the flow region near the boundaries. Fluid systems exhibit unique boundary condition attributes, and designers must have an u...
