No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1968–69 to 1971–72 (before that, 1965–66 to 1967–68 used the number for Unsteady Gas Dynamics); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Review of elementary boundary layer theory in laminar and turbulent flow. The development of turbulent boundary layers in arbitrary pressure gradients, application to internal and external flows. Boundary layers on axisymmetric bodies, three-dimensional or “skewed” boundary layers. Heat and mass transfer through boundary layers, effect of material properties on boundary layer behaviour.
As printed in the 1968–69 to 1971–72 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.
