10. Fundamentals of Boundary Layers

This collection of videos was created about half a century ago to explain fluid mechanics in an accessible way for undergraduate engineering and physics students. I find that no other series of videos has explained the basics of fluid mechanics better than this one by the National Committee for Fluid Mechanics (those national committees gotta be good for something...)
As such, I have uploaded these videos here for the benefit of students and interested laypersons. I do not own the copyright and these videos were not made by me. If anyone should want me to take them down, I will comply without complaint.
If you want scans of the printed notes that go along with these videos, check out them out over at the MIT side of things: web.mit.edu/hml.... They are really great stuff.

Half a century ago !!! But still, the best explanation found on the net ...

[@AviatorJosh]

Excellent film on boundary layers and boundary layer thickness.

R u Nasa?

[@shaider1982]

The book, Intro to Fluid Mechanics by Robert W. Fox and Alan T. McDonald, brought me here.

[@mbanks11]

I endorse these videos and the assessment of them given here -- they really are superb explanations, well thought-out and planned. Don't anyone let the mere technology of the media put you off.

here to do mae 130b hw but wow this is actually fun

[@isabelleyap1779]

Hi, I did not quite get what you said, "The viscosity affects the flow of dynamics are" what "along the surface of the object"?

[@davidbain701]

Sharp clear and unobstructed Turbulence is a transition from, a introduced motion, to the dominant flow condition

[@peppyKoeppe2]

Yea this is an excellent video. I needed this clarification. Thanks

[@MohamedAhmed-nf5vy]

Absolutely brilliant, Big thanks Barry Belmont

allahu akbar

[@mmbendou23adc]

Thanks for the videos, this is awesome....

[@philg]

Very well explained. Great!

[@hemantdhakwal6489]

Excellent experiment

[@NikhilRajBirua]

This is gold.

[@nedles27]

This is excellent. Thank you very very much.

[@claudiamorel8400]

Thank you very much. Excellent video.

A zona de recirculação é onde a velocidade é negativa.

[@Pedritox0953]

Wonderful video!

[@cyrusIIIII]

Why did he say the shear in upstream on the plate is bigger than the downstream while the velocity gradient looks steeper the downstream?

[@FlyNAA]

5:30 to 6:05, he said the gradient is steeper upstream, so the 2 match. You talking about the same or different spot in the video?

[@danielsantiagosoto9639]

ahaha its amazing how i understood everything in less than 30 minutes!

[@dhanasekar2663]

well explained ......

[@theobirkholz]

Vinod's fluids anyone?

[@zehrakiraz6805]

Yalnız eleman baya hoşmuş, sadece sesi ve görünüşü için bile izlenir.

Vengo aquí a entender como es la física de los vórtices aplicados a las aeronaves en forma de platillos

[@hudeyfeotomasyon3686]

harika süper çalışma
tebrikler

[@sarathy319]

cool

[@alcyonecrucis]

how the fuck is this images generated again???

[@tjwiets6691]

Electrolysis... Check out the 5th video in this series, Flow Visualization. It's described in a bit more detail in that video just after 2 minutes in, the video calls it the hydrogen bubble method...hope that helps.

[@alcyonecrucis]

Tj Wiets ya i figured that out like 5 min after i posted! cheers! l0l

[@BitterTast3]

Audio is 10 seconds ahead of the video.
