Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What is the primary function of the boundary layer?

  • To increase drag
  • To allow for the development of turbulence
  • To reduce the velocity of the flow near a surface
  • To create laminar flow conditions

💡 Hint: Think of how fluids behave near surfaces.

Question 2

True or False: Displacement thickness accounts for the outer streamline shift due to the boundary layer effect.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider what happens to streamlines near a wall.
