Question 1
What is the primary effect of displacement thickness?
- A shift in streamlines
- An increase in pressure
- A decrease in fluid density
💡 Hint: Consider how the fluid's path changes near solid surfaces.
Question 2
True or False: Displacement thickness is always greater than momentum thickness.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Think about the definitions of each type of thickness.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
For a laminar flow over a flat plate with the upper velocity of 10 m/s, calculate the displacement thickness at a position where the Reynolds number is 50,000, assuming constant viscosity.
💡 Hint: You might need to use the relationships provided in the lecture.
Question 2
How does an increase in flow velocity impact the displacement thickness and what implications does this have on drag for an aerodynamic surface?
💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between Reynolds number and boundary layer characteristics.
