Introduction to Interactive Boundary Layer Theory
Author: Ian John Sobey Series: Oxford Texts in Applied and Engineering Mathematics
The triple deck structure shows how a perturbation to the thin layer of a fluid adjacent to an obstacle such as an aeroplane wing develops as an interaction between the pressure and a displacement of the boundary layer. This book provides a description of some history of boundary layer flow and the application of the triple deck in fluid mechanics.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
Summary
The triple deck structure shows how a perturbation to the thin layer of a fluid adjacent to an obstacle such as an aeroplane wing develops as an interaction between the pressure and a displacement of the boundary layer. This book provides a description of some history of boundary layer flow and the application of the triple deck in fluid mechanics.
Description
One of the major achievements in fluid mechanics in the last quarter of the twentieth century has been the development of an asymptotic description of perturbations to boundary layers known generally as 'triple deck theory'. These developments have had a major impact on our understanding of laminar fluid flow, particularly laminar separation. It is also true that the theory rests on three quarters of a century of development of boundary layer theory which involvesanalysis, experimentation and computation. All these parts go together, and to understand the triple deck it is necessary to understand which problems the triple deck resolves and which computationaltechniques have been applied. This book presents a unified account of the development of laminar boundary layer theory as a historical study together with a description of the application of the ideas of triple deck theory to flow past a plate, to separation from a cylinder and to flow in channels. The book is intended to provide a graduate level teaching resource as well as a mathematically oriented account for a general reader in applied mathematics, engineering, physics or scientificcomputation.
Critic Reviews
“This book provides various physical/engineering/historical insights on this topic.”
EMS Sobey includes recent work in a seamless manner ... a very readable book. New Scientist
