Difference between Boundary layer and Viscosity

Boundary layer vs. Viscosity

In physics and fluid mechanics, a boundary layer is an important concept and refers to the layer of fluid in the immediate vicinity of a bounding surface where the effects of viscosity are significant. The viscosity of a fluid is the measure of its resistance to gradual deformation by shear stress or tensile stress.

Similarities between Boundary layer and Viscosity

Boundary layer and Viscosity have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Atmosphere of Earth, Drag (physics), Fluid, Fluid mechanics, Force, Reynolds number, Shear stress, Turbulence.

Atmosphere of Earth

The atmosphere of Earth is the layer of gases, commonly known as air, that surrounds the planet Earth and is retained by Earth's gravity.

Drag (physics)

In fluid dynamics, drag (sometimes called air resistance, a type of friction, or fluid resistance, another type of friction or fluid friction) is a force acting opposite to the relative motion of any object moving with respect to a surrounding fluid.

Fluid

In physics, a fluid is a substance that continually deforms (flows) under an applied shear stress.

Force

In physics, a force is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object.

Reynolds number

The Reynolds number is an important dimensionless quantity in fluid mechanics used to help predict flow patterns in different fluid flow situations.

Shear stress

A shear stress, often denoted by (Greek: tau), is the component of stress coplanar with a material cross section.

Boundary layer and Viscosity Comparison

Boundary layer has 71 relations, while Viscosity has 192. As they have in common 8, the Jaccard index is 3.04% = 8 / (71 + 192).
