What is boundary layer flow?

A boundary layer flow is defined to be the region of a larger flow field that is next to the surface and has significant effects on wall frictional forces. Since the region of interest is near the surface and the surface is assumed to be impervious to the flow then the velocity is nearly parallel to the surface.

How drag is created in boundary layer?

In most situations, it is inevitable that the boundary layer becomes detached from a solid body. This boundary layer separation results in a large increase in the drag on the body.
