Question 1

What is the relationship between displacement thickness and momentum thickness?

  • Both measure the same effect
  • They measure different aspects of flow
  • Only one affects drag

💡 Hint: Consider their definitions carefully.

Question 2

True or False: Momentum thickness is a direct measure of drag force.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about the concepts being separate yet related.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A flat plate in a fluid flow is experiencing boundary layer formation. Given initial velocity profiles, compute both momentum thickness and displacement thickness at several points along the plate.

💡 Hint: You may need to derive the equations based on given profiles.

Question 2

Analyze how changes in fluid viscosity can impact the momentum thickness behavior on different surfaces—smooth vs. rough.

💡 Hint: Think about how viscous fluids flow differently compared to non-viscous ones.
