Eligibility Criteria

Academic Qualifications

The students must have a basic knowledge of fluid mechanics to join the Introduction to Boundary Layers certification course.

Certification Qualifying Details

After completing the Introduction to Boundary Layers online course, the students will be eligible for a certificate after qualifying for the examination.

What you will learn

The candidates gain a deep understanding of boundary layer and the physical concepts of boundary layer thickness once they have completed the Introduction to Boundary Layers certification syllabus. They will explore the Prandtl’s Boundary Layer Equations for laminar boundary layers.

The students will also learn how a laminar boundary layer transitions to turbulence and separates after completing the Introduction to Boundary Layers training. They will also gain a deep understanding of thermal boundary layers and Navier-Stokes equations. With hands-on training by industry experts, students learn to apply these concepts in the real world.
