This course briefly revisits the concept of a boundary layer. It details the physical concepts behind boundary layer thickness, boundary layer displacement and momentum thickness and friction drag. It discusses the basic Navier-Stokes equations and their subsequent non-dimensionalisation to derive the Prandtl’s Boundary Layer Equations and discusses exact solutions to these equations.
It concentrates primarily on the transition of the laminar boundary layer to turbulence; hence the stability o
