Question 1

What defines a boundary layer?

  • A layer of fluid with uniform velocity.
  • The area near a surface where fluid velocity changes.
  • A turbulent zone in fluid flow.

💡 Hint: Think about how fluid interacts with surfaces.

Question 2

True or False: The no-slip condition implies that fluid velocity is zero at the surface.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Reflect on fluid-solid interactions.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

How does the boundary layer thickness change with increasing velocity in a wind tunnel? Provide a detailed explanation.

💡 Hint: Think about how increased speeds affect flow characteristics.

Question 2

A flat plate experiences laminar flow initially at a low Reynolds number. As the Reynolds number increases beyond 5 x 10^5, describe the transition phases and what happens to the boundary layer.

💡 Hint: Reflect on the relationship between flow stability and stream characteristics.
