I am not sure about this, maybe an aerodynamics expert can correct me, but as far as I remember boundary layer only modifies speed as a function of the distance from the surface (0 speed at the contact point and increasing as the distance increases from the surface), but the speed vector direction remains the same along the boundary layer. Maybe not the speed but the direction is the same across the whole boundary layer.

Please somebody who can confirm.
