What is external flow?

In fluid mechanics, external flow is such a flow that boundary layers develop freely, without constraints imposed by adjacent surfaces. Accordingly, there will always exist a region of the flow outside the boundary layer in which velocity, temperature, and/or concentration gradients are negligible. It can be defined as the flow of a fluid around a body that is completely submerged in it.

An example includes fluid motion over a flat plate (inclined or parallel to the free stream velocity) and flow over curved surfaces such as a sphere, cylinder, airfoil, or turbine blade, air flowing around an airplane and water flowing around the submarines.

How to Calculate Momentum thickness at X?

Momentum thickness at X calculator uses Momentum Thickness at X = (7/72)*Hydrodynamic Boundary Layer Thickness to calculate the Momentum Thickness at X, Momentum thickness at X formula is defined as a measure of the thickness of the boundary layer in a fluid flow over a flat plate, characterizing the momentum loss due to friction, which is essential in understanding the flow behavior and drag forces. Momentum Thickness at X is denoted by θ_x symbol.
