- Edge Effect
- Fluid dynamics — boundary layers on a wing or pipe wall, where velocity gradients steepen within microns of the surface and drag, lift, and turbulence transition occur entirely inside the thin band.
This sourceAuthoritative treatment of the velocity boundary layer as a thin high-gradient band whose thickness scales with the inverse square root of the Reynolds number.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The cited book is the standard reference on boundary-layer theory, which backs the concept, but its accessible abstract does not carry the claim's micron-scale gradient or 'entirely inside the thin band' assertions.
“This new edition of the near-legendary textbook by Schlichting and revised by Gersten presents a comprehensive overview of boundary-layer theory and its application to all areas of fluid mechanics, with particular emphasis on the flow past bodies”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
