The supersonic boundary layer is a region of fluid flow adjacent to a solid surface where the flow velocity is greater than the speed of sound, characterized by unique phenomena such as shock waves and increased compressibility effects. Understanding this layer is crucial for designing high-speed aircraft and missiles, as it impacts drag, heat transfer, and overall aerodynamic performance.
