Παραδείγματα από το σώμα κειμένου για boundary layer
1. A flat surface enables the orbiter to enjoy a smooth ride, knifing through a silky "boundary layer" of hot gas that envelops the shuttle as it decelerates.
2. A protruding gap filler, however, can "trip" this boundary layer and create turbulence that results in much higher hot–spot temperatures.
3. The fear was that the protruding strips of fabric could interfere with a phenomenon called a boundary layer transition, during which the flow of air over the shuttle‘s surface on reentry changes from laminar (smooth) to turbulent.
