At supersonic speeds, however, sufficient heat is generated by viscous dissipation in the boundary layer to change the density of the fluid significantly. Figure 8. Flow in a channel, showing boundary ...

For instance, in the flow through a large duct where the boundary layers are very thin, viscous effects are confined to a rather small region, and the fluid friction may sometimes be neglected. This ...

In the process, we learn about a variety of fluid phenomena and its applications such as: supersonic flow and the principles of design of jet engines, viscous boundary layers and the consequent drag ...
