Laminar Boundary Layers - II

This course covers the comprehensive understanding of fluid dynamics, focusing on the concept of boundary layers. It starts with the derivation of the momentum integral equation and its solution using the Karmann Pohlhausen method. For instance, it explains how to calculate the displacement thickness, momentum thickness, and wall shear stress using this method. The course then delves into Thwaites Approximation, explaining how to calculate crucial parameters mentioned previously. It also discusses the Momentum Integral Equation and the concept of the shape factor. The course further explores the concept of boundary layer separation, its causes, effects, and control methods. For example, it uses the flow over a circular cylinder to illustrate these concepts. Lastly, the course discusses the concept of laminar boundary layers, explaining how to solve related problems in the field of fluid dynamics.
