BRUN, Introduction à l'Étude de la Couche Limite, 1955

Edmond A. Brun (1898-1996) was a renowned French physicist and aerodynamicist, a member of the Académie des Sciences. His work Introduction à l'Étude de la Couche Limite (Introduction to the Study of the Boundary Layer) is an essential textbook on this fundamental concept in fluid mechanics, particularly important in aerodynamics and heat transfer. Boundary layer theory, developed by Ludwig Prandtl, describes the thin fluid region near a surface where viscous effects are significant. This book is a key didactic text for students and engineers working in the fields of aeronautics and thermal engineering.
