Unsteady Prandtl equation
ID: unsteady-prandtl-equation
The unsteady form of the Prandtl boundary-layer equation evolves the tangential boundary-layer velocity under advection, outer pressure forcing and normal viscous diffusion. Incompressibility supplies the normal velocity. A stationary wall imposes the no-slip boundary condition, and tangential velocity matches the prescribed outer slip velocity far from the wall. The normal far-field disturbance need not vanish.
