Summary
On the basis of instability and vortex interactions in an idealized physical model, an attempt is made to deduce in a self-contained and rational way the structure of the turbulent boundary layer. It is shown that the model provides a rough but self-consistent description of several known aspects of the structure.The key concept is that of a ‘critical layer’ in the flow. It is believed that this description will shed some light on possible control schemes for the turbulent boundary layer.
