The no-slip condition states that at a solid surface the fluid velocity is

  • A.Equal to the free-stream velocity
  • B.Equal to the local speed of sound
  • C.Twice the velocity just outside the layer
  • D.Zero relative to the surface

Answer: D

Correct answer: Zero relative to the surface

Viscosity makes the fluid immediately adjacent to a wall move with the wall, so the relative velocity there is zero. Everything about the boundary layer follows from this one condition, including skin friction, separation and the whole distinction between real and inviscid flow.
