Here I try to make a start on what the philosophy of applied mathematics might look like. I present it as a potential development from the turn to mathematical practice, familiar from Maddy and Corfield. Then I turn to the extended example of Prandtl's boundary layer theory before concluding with some potential epistemic, semantic and metaphysical implications for the philosophy of mathematics as a whole.
Suggestions for improvement or pointers to similar work by others is appreciated.
