The presentation starts with the historical aspects of Ludwig Prandtl's idea (from 1904). Transition from laminar to turbulent flow and the critical Reynolds number are described. Experimental flow visualization of transition in a boundary layer is also shown. A CFD solution for laminar flow on a flat plate (from SolidWorks Flow Simulation) is presented that shows the effect of Reynolds number on the boundary layer"
