What defines a boundary layer?
💡 Hint: Think about how fluid interacts with surfaces.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
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.
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.
