12Mixed layer — The oceanic or limnological mixed layer is a layer in which active turbulence has homogenized some range of depths. The surface mixed layer is a layer where this turbulence is generated by winds, cooling, or processes such as evaporation or sea… …
13Blasius boundary layer — A Blasius boundary layer, in physics and fluid mechanics, describes the steady two dimensional boundary layer that forms on a semi infinite plate which is held parallel to a constant unidirectional flow U.Within the boundary layer the usual… …
14Nepheloid layer — or nepheloid zone is a layer of water in the deep ocean basin, above the ocean floor, that contains significant amounts of suspended sediment.[1] It is from 200 to 1000 m thick. The name comes from Greek: nephos, cloud . The particles in the… …
15Ekman layer — In standard boundary layer theory, the effects of viscous diffusion are usually balanced by convective inertia. When a fluid rotates, however, the dominant balance may instead be struck between diffusion effects and the Coriolis force. Under… …
16Surface layer — The surface layer is the layer of a turbulent fluid most affected by interaction with a solid surface or the surface separating a gas and a liquid. In surface layers the characteristics of the turbulence depend on distance from the interface.… …
17laminar boundary layer — A series of layers of airflow over a body with each successive layer having a higher velocity than the adjacent one and with the bottom most layer having a zero velocity. The opposite of laminar airflow is turbulent airflow …
18Helicon Double Layer Thruster — The Helicon Double Layer Thruster is a prototype spacecraft propulsion engine. It was created by Australian scientist Dr. Christine Charles, based on a technology invented by Professor Rod Boswell, both of the Australian National University.The… …
19boundary layer — /ˈbaʊndri leɪə/ (say bowndree layuh) noun Aeronautics, Physics, etc. the thin layer of fluid next to the surface of a moving body in which there is a transition between the velocity of the body on one side, and the velocity of the fluid on the… …
20blown-boundary-layer control — A system in which the blown boundary layer uses high velocity air blown through ducts or jets to energize the boundary layer on the upper surface of the wing at low speeds, especially during approach and landing to keep the boundary layer from… …
