In dictionaries:
surface boundary layer
(meteorology) The portion of the atmosphere lying next to the surface of the earth and extending up to between 50 and 100 meters.
atmospheric boundary layer
Layer where atmosphere interacts with surface.
boundary layer separation
Flow detachment from surface occurs.
Planetary boundary layer
In meteorology, the planetary boundary layer, also known as the atmospheric boundary layer or peplosphere, is the lowest part of the atmosphere and its behaviour is directly influenced by its contact with a planetary surface.
Boundary layer control
In engineering, boundary layer control refers to methods of controlling the behaviour of fluid flow boundary layers.
convective boundary layer
Atmospheric layer driven by convection.
Boundary layer thickness
This page describes some of the parameters used to characterize the thickness and shape of boundary layers formed by fluid flowing along a solid surface.
Blasius boundary layer
In physics and fluid mechanics, a Blasius boundary layer (named after Paul Richard Heinrich Blasius) describes the steady two-dimensional laminar boundary layer that forms on a semi-infinite plate which is held parallel to a constant unidirectional flow.
