laminar 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 … Aviation dictionary
boundary ecosystem — ▪ biology Introduction complex of living organisms in areas where one body of water meets another, e.g., estuaries and lagoons, or where a body of water meets the land, e.g., marshes. The latter are often called wetlands. Boundary… … Universalium

Ekman 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… … Wikipedia
Mixed 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… … Wikipedia
Surface 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.… … Wikipedia

Divergent boundary — In plate tectonics, a divergent boundary or divergent plate boundary (also known as a constructive boundary or an extensional boundary) is a linear feature that exists between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other. Divergent… … Wikipedia
Convergent boundary — In plate tectonics, a convergent boundary, also known as a destructive plate boundary (because of subduction), is an actively deforming region where two (or more) tectonic plates or fragments of lithosphere move toward one another and collide. As … Wikipedia
Turbulence modeling — is the area of physical modeling where a simpler mathematical model than the full time dependent Navier Stokes Equations is used to predict the effects of turbulence.There are various mathematical models used in flow modelling to understand… … Wikipedia
