The Blasius boundary layer is a classical solution in fluid dynamics, representing the steady, incompressible laminar flow over a flat plate. The boundary layer is the thin region near the plate where the effects of viscosity are significant, leading to a velocity gradient from the no-slip condition at the plate surface to the free stream velocity away from it. The Blasius solution is a self-similar solution to the Navier-Stokes equations and provides a way to calculate the velocity profile within the boundary layer.
