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.

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.
