Boundary-layer Growth

Boundary-Layer Growth is a physical phenomenon in fluid dynamics and thermodynamics denoting the gradual thickening of the fluid region adjacent to a solid surface where viscous and thermal diffusion effects become progressively significant relative to inertial forces, distinguishing it from other boundary-layer processes by its intrinsic dependence on the downstream evolution of velocity and thermal gradients under specified external flow and surface conditions.
