in this paper, the present state of the arts in oscillatory boundary layer research isreviewed, involving the current progresses of laminar boundary layer, flow transition and turbulentboundary layer theory, numerical simulation and experiments. The most typical case in nature isthe benthic boundary layer driven by waves or tides. The features of benthic boundary layer andits dynamical impacts on mass transport are discussed as well in two practical case studies.
