- 1) I think the equation you want can be found in Landau and Lifshitz,
- "Fluid Mechanics" but I just looked and can't seem to find it.
-
- \dot\vec{u} = -(\vec{u} \cdot \vec{\nabla}) \vec{u}
- -\frac{1}{\rho} \vec{\nabla}\ P
- + \frac{1}{\rho} \mu \nabla^2 \vec{u} + (\eta +
- \frac{\mu}{3})\vec{\nabla}(\vec{\nabla} \cdot \vec{u})

- Sorry it's in LaTeX, but I think you can figure it out.
- nabla = del, and cdot is the vector dot product.
- Notice that for,
- \eta = -1/3 \nu (isentropic condition, I believe)
- the equation collapses to the incompressible form.
-
- 2) I believe that the shape and size of the boundary layer is HIGHLY
- dependent on both the geometry of the object and the Reynolds number.
- If you go through journals like the Journal of Fluid Mechanics, and
- Physics of Fluids, you'll find an abundance of papers studying boundary layer
- phenomena for a variety of situations.
