Abstract
The momentum and heat-transfer problems solved in this text are represented by the so-called boundary-layer (or thin-shear-layer) equations, which are approximate forms of the exact conservation equations derived in Sections 2.1 to 2.4. Here we use the term “thin shear layer” to denote any member of the family of boundary layers, jets, wakes, and flows in long slender ducts. The boundary layer itself is the simplest example for qualitative discussion. The following three sections apply the boundary-layer assumptions for uncoupled (incompressible, constant-density) and coupled (compressible, variable-density) flow, respectively, and lead to the thin-shear-layer equations for steady two-dimensional and axisymmetric flows.
