    Important Definitions Prandtl Number and Ratio of Boundary Layers

    Uploaded by

    Avijit Karmakar
    This document summarizes key concepts from a lecture on boundary layers, including important definitions like boundary layer thickness, displacement thickness, and momentum thickness. It also discusses laminar versus turbulent flow, critical Reynolds number, and how the Prandtl number relates the thickness of the thermal boundary layer to the velocity boundary layer.

    Important Definitions :

    The boundary layer thickness for laminar flow past a flat plate

    Displacement thickness is the distance by which the external potential flow is displaced outwards as

    a consequence of decrease in velocity in the boundary layer (Figure 1.7)

    Laminar Flow : Fluid motion is well ordered, layers slide over each other :
    Turbulent Flow : Fluid motion is highly irregular and characterized by velocity fluctuations (Figure
    1.8)
    The critical Reynolds number for external flows is

    Let us consider a case for
    consideration, a scale analysis within the boundary layer gives :

    From the velocity boundary layer consideration, a scale analysis within the boundary layer gives

    From equations (1.120) and (1.121) we get
