Question 1

What is the boundary layer thickness (δ)?

  • The distance where velocity is zero
  • The distance where velocity is 50% of free stream
  • The distance where velocity is 99% of free stream

💡 Hint: Think about how the flow is defined near the surface.

Question 2

True or False: Turbulent boundary layers have smooth and layered flow.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider how turbulence impacts flow structure.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a scenario where an airplane wing design needs optimization. How would you go about analyzing the boundary layer effects on drag and lift? Discuss the steps involved.

💡 Hint: Think about the factors influencing airflow over surfaces.

Question 2

A flat plate has a boundary layer thickness of 1 cm at a certain flow speed. If the flow speed is doubled, how would you expect the boundary layer thickness to change? Justify your reasoning.

💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between inertia and viscosity in fluid dynamics.
