Computes a scalar variable defined as the boundary layer thickness

Args:

source_parts:

Any boundary part(s) or a boundary part number.

velocity:

A velocity variable.

ymax:

A ymax profiling distance (>0), (enter 0 for convergence alg.).

opt_for_a_gradient_of_velo_mag:

The gradient of the input velocity vector magnitude, or -1 to approximate it.

output_varname:

The name of the newly created variable

Returns:

New ENS_VAR instance or None

Note:
