Question

Boundary layer is defined as________ .

A.

a thin layer at the surface where gradients of both velocity and temperature are small

B.

a thin layer at the surface where velocity and velocity gradients are large

C.

a thick layer at the surface where velocity and temperature gradients are large

D.

a thin layer at the surface where gradients of both velocity and temperature are large

Answer ( Option A)

a thin layer at the surface where gradients of both velocity and temperature are small

Solution

The region in which flow adjusts from zero velocity at the wall to a maximum in the main stream of the flow is termed as boundary layer. The concept of boundary layer is of importance in all of viscous fluid dynamics.

Hence, the correct option is (A).
