Laminar boundary layer

  "id": "MLC-T-MET-006855",
  "term": "Laminar boundary layer",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A thin layer of fluid adjacent to a solid surface where the flow is smooth and orderly, characterized by fluid particles moving in parallel paths without mixing. Within this layer, viscous forces dominate over inertial forces, leading to a gradual change in velocity from zero at the surface to the free-stream velocity. The thickness of a laminar boundary layer increases with distance from the leading edge of the surface and decreases with increasing fluid velocity.",
