ResumoSummaryAfter a short summary of the main features of boundary-layer theory Hermann Schlichting's contributions to boundary-layer theory are described. They refer to almost all areas of boundary-layer theory. Particularly, the following topics are worth mentioning: laminar-turbulent transition, boundary layers with continuous suction or blowing, boundary layers in cascade flows of turbomachines, boundary layers on rough surfaces, laminar airfoils, heat transfer, automobile aerodynamics. A detailed discussion is devoted to Tollmien-Schlichting waves, to the conception of "equivalent roughness" and to the classic and well-known book "Boundary-Layer Theory", which are and will always be connected with the name of Hermann Schlichting.
