Supersonic Boundary Layer
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
.
