In [[fluid mechanics]], '''external flow''' is such a flow that boundary layers develop freely, without constraints imposed by adjacent surfaces. Accordingly, there will always exist a region of the flow outside the boundary layer in which velocity, temperature, and/or concentration gradients are negligible.It can be defined as the flow of a fluid around a body that is completely submerged in it.
