Thickness of Boundary Layer in Dynamics of Fluid Flow Formulas

The Thickness of Boundary Layer is the distance normal to the wall to a point where the flow velocity has essentially reached the ’asymptotic’ velocity. And is denoted by 𝛿. Thickness of Boundary Layer is usually measured using the Meter for Length. Note that the value of Thickness of Boundary Layer is always positive.
