1Boundary layer — For the anatomical structure, see Boundary layer of uterus. Boundary layer visualization, showing transition from laminar to turbulent condition In physics and fluid mechanics, a boundary layer is that layer of fluid in the immediate vicinity of… …
2Boundary layer transition — The process of a laminar boundary layer becoming turbulent is known as boundary layer transition. This process is an extraordinarily complicated process which at present is not fully understood. However, as the result of many decades of intensive …

6Electrical double layer — The electrical double layer is a structure that describes the variation of electric potential near a surface, and has a large bearing on the behaviour of colloids and other surfaces in contact with solutions and solid state fast ion conductors.… …
7Saharan Air Layer — The Saharan Air Layer (SAL) is an intensely dry, warm and sometimes dust laden layer of the atmosphere which often overlies the cooler, more humid surface air of the Atlantic Ocean. In the Sahara Desert region of North Africa, where it originates …
