Blasius (Saint)

Blasius Saint, also known as the Blasius boundary layer problem, is a famous solution in fluid dynamics. It describes how a thin layer of fluid (like air or water) flows smoothly over a flat surface, such as an airplane wing or a ship's hull. The solution helps predict the velocity of the fluid at different distances from the surface, showing how the flow transitions from stationary at the surface to moving freely further away. This understanding is crucial for designing efficient vehicles and studying how fluids behave in various engineering applications.
