| Boundary Layer: |
Associated with water damaged buildings, the boundary layer is the very thin layer of water immediately next to a solid body that flows more slowly than the rest of the fluid. Restorative Drying Note: The boundary layer is that layer of a wet porous floor where water continues to have surface tension. The boundary layer will inhibit evaporation from the surface of the porous material unless it is completely adsorbed by the hard surface, removed through suctioning, wicked-off through aeration or when complete evaporation takes place. |
