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.

Why does the thickness of boundary layer increase?

When the incoming uniform flow flows over a flat plate, the fluid particles near the plate will stick to the plate (no-slip condition). That means that the momentum of the flat plate is diffused to the fluid. And hence the boundary layer thickness increases as the fluid moves downstream.
