student New Member stud Join Date: Mar 2009 Posts: 8 Rep Power: 17	Dear Sir, For problems like flow over a cylinder convective boundary conditions are used (d phi)/dt + umax (d phi)/dx = 0 where phi = u or v. What is the physical meaning of this equation and does it differ from fully developed boundary condition like d phi/dx=0. Thank you
