Fluid Mechanics Lesson 13A: Introduction to Boundary Layers

Fluid Mechanics Lesson Series - Lesson 13A: Introduction to Boundary Layers.

This video was recorded on Halloween; watch for a special guest appearance. In this 15.5-minute video, Professor Cimbala explains the concept of a boundary layer, and describes the boundary layer coordinate system used to analyze boundary layers. He then derives the boundary layer equations for steady, two-dimensional, incompressible flow and explains the significance of pressure remaining approximately constant through the boundary layer.

This video incorporates material from Section 10-6 of the Fluid Mechanics textbook by Cengel and Cimbala, Edition 4.
