Question 1

What is the definition of displacement thickness?

  • A measure of effective flow area reduction
  • The extent to which momentum is lost
  • The thickness of the liquid at the surface
  • None of the above

💡 Hint: Think about how displacement thickness affects the entire flow region.

Question 2

True or False: Momentum thickness can be computed from velocity profiles.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Link this to how flows behave along surfaces.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the displacement thickness for a given laminar flow situation with known velocity distributions. If u = 0.6U at y = 0.005m, and U is the free stream velocity, what would B4* be?

💡 Hint: Focus on integrating within the range defined by your boundaries.

Question 2

Given velocity profiles for a turbulent flow, derive the momentum thickness and discuss its implications on drag force design.

💡 Hint: Incorporate experimental or empirical data for accuracy.
