The boundary layer control formula typically involves parameters such as velocity, viscosity, and boundary layer thickness. One common formula used in boundary layer control is the Blasius equation, which describes the velocity profile in a laminar boundary layer over a flat plate. It is:
Where:
- is the velocity at distance from the plate,
- is the free stream velocity,
- is the kinematic viscosity of the fluid,
- is the distance along the plate,
- is the similarity variable, and
- is the derivative of the dimensionless velocity profile function .
