The notion of the boundary layer was introduced to describe thin viscous layers that form on a rigid body surface in otherwise inviscid flow of a Fluid with small viscosity.
However, its focus is on recent results of the theory invaluable in describing fluid-Dynamics phenomena..
The book begins with the classical theory of the boundary-layer flows.
