Interactive Quizzes
Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.
Question 1
What is a key characteristic of a boundary layer?
- Flow is always turbulent
- Viscous effects are significant
- Fluid moves as a solid
💡 Hint: Is the flow affected by the presence of solid surfaces?
Question 2
True or False: Momentum thickness is a measure of the drag force experienced by a fluid over a surface.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Think about the relationship between momentum and force.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A flat plate is placed in a wind tunnel with a speed of 15 m/s. Estimate the boundary layer thickness at the end of the plate (1 m long) using the Reynolds number to identify if the flow is laminar.
💡 Hint: Don’t forget to check if your Reynolds number indicates laminar flow.
Question 2
Considering a flat plate flow, explain how varying surface roughness might affect the boundary layer characteristics, and suggest how an engineer might account for this in design.
💡 Hint: Think about how rough surfaces interact differently compared to smooth ones.
