Turbulent boundary layer

  "id": "MLC-T-MET-009846",
  "term": "Turbulent boundary layer",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The layer of fluid adjacent to a solid surface where the flow is turbulent and momentum transfer is dominated by chaotic eddy motions. Within this layer, velocity profiles are fuller and flatter compared to those in a laminar boundary layer, indicating more effective mixing. The atmospheric boundary layer, extending from the Earth's surface up to about one kilometer, is almost always a turbulent boundary layer due to surface friction and heating.",
