Laminar Boundary Layer: In laminar flow, the fluid moves smoothly in layers, and the velocity increases gradually from the surface to the free-stream velocity. The boundary layer is thin and grows slowly. It occurs at low Reynolds numbers.
Turbulent Boundary Layer: In turbulent flow, the fluid exhibits chaotic eddies and swirls. The velocity profile is more irregular, and the boundary layer is thicker. It grows more rapidly and generates higher shear stress than a laminar boundary layer. It typically occurs at high Reynolds numbers.
