A boundary layer is a thin region (usually along a wall)in which viscous forces are significant and within which the flow is rotational. Consider a boundary layer growing along a thin flat plate. The flow is steady. The boundary layer thickness d (m) at any downstream distance x is a function of x (m), free-stream velocity V(m/s)`, fluid properties fluid density r (kg/m3), fluid viscosity µ (kg/m.s), sound velocity c (m/s) and surface roughness ɛ (m).
