SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the "No Slip Condition" in fluid dynamics, specifically addressing conflicting statements from two textbooks regarding fluid velocity at a solid boundary. One source claims that the fluid's velocity matches the solid boundary's velocity, while the other asserts that the fluid's velocity is zero at the boundary. The consensus among participants is that the second statement is correct, as it aligns with the principle that the fluid in contact with a solid boundary has zero velocity relative to that boundary, regardless of the boundary's motion.
