What is Reynolds number in boundary layer flow?

The Reynolds number is the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces within a fluid that is subjected to relative internal movement due to different fluid velocities. A region where these forces change behavior is known as a boundary layer, such as the bounding surface in the interior of a pipe.

What are the two types of flow associated with the boundary layer?

There are two different types of boundary layer flow: laminar and turbulent. The laminar boundary is a very smooth flow, while the turbulent boundary layer contains swirls or "eddies." The laminar flow creates less skin friction drag than the turbulent flow but is less stable.
