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. Falkner and Skan later generalized Blasius' solution to wedge flow (Falkner–Skan boundary layer), i.e. flows in which the plate is not parallel to the flow.
Prandtl's boundary layer equations.
Using scaling arguments, Ludwig Prandtl has argued that about half
Falkner–Skan boundary layer
In fluid dynamics, the Falkner–Skan boundary layer (named after V. M. Falkner and Sylvia W. Skan) describes the steady two-dimensional laminar boundary layer that forms on a wedge, i.e. flows in which the plate is not parallel to the flow. It is a generalization of the Blasius boundary layer.
Prandtl's boundary layer equations.
Prandtl's equations known as the boundary layer equations for steady incompressible flow with constant viscosity and density, are
