Outer Layer

Outer Layer is next to the Overlap Layer. It is found that in this layer u is independent of $\mu$, molecular viscosity. The flow is dominated by turbulent shear. The velocity profile is now given by the Velocity Defect Law -

$${{U - u} \over u^* } = G \left( y \over \delta \right)$$ (7.34)
