External flow

In fluid mechanics, external flow is a flow that boundary layers develop freely, without constraints imposed by adjacent surfaces.[1][2] It can be defined as the flow of a fluid around a body that is completely submerged in it. Examples include fluid motion over a flat plate (inclined or parallel to the free stream velocity) and flow over curved surfaces such as a sphere, cylinder, airfoil, or turbine blade, water flowing around submarines, and air flowing around a truck;[3] a 2000 paper analyzing the latter used computational fluid dynamics to model the three-dimensional flow structure and pressure distribution on the external surface of the truck.[3] In a 2008 paper, external flow was said to be "arguably is the most common and best studied case in soft matter systems.[4]

The term can also be used simply to describe flow in any body of fluid external to the system under consideration.[5][6]

In external co-flow, fluid in the external region occurs in the same direction as flow within the system of interest; this contrasts with external counterflow.[1]
