〰️ Blasius Boundary Layer Profile (2D)

Interactive 2D Canvas visualization of the Blasius boundary-layer velocity profile and its growth thickness δ(x) ∝ √(νx/U) along a flat plate. Adjust free-stream velocity, viscosity and plate length, probe the profile at any x-position.

⚙ Under the hood

Watch the Blasius similarity solution unfold along a flat plate: the boundary-layer thickness grows as the square root of x while the velocity profile fills in from zero at the wall to the free-stream speed. Drag the free-stream velocity, viscosity and plate-length sliders, or click anywhere along the plate to probe the exact profile shape and local Reynolds number at that station.
