External flows around streamlined bodies at high re have viscous shear and noslip effects confined close to the body surfaces and its wake, but are nearly inviscid far from the body. Use features like bookmarks, note taking and highlighting while reading boundarylayer theory. The fluid in the boundary layer is subjected to shearing forces. In the boundarylayer theory for threedimensional flows, methods for obtaining a solution have been developed and cases in which the equations simplify have been studied. Boundary layer, in fluid mechanics, this layer of a flowing gas or liquid in contact with a surface such as that of an airplane wing or of the inside of a pipe.
