Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
If the boundary layer thickness is given as delta = 0.1 m in a water system, and the velocity profile is u/U = 0.5y/delta, calculate the displacement and momentum thickness.
💡 Hint: Remember to apply the integral limits correctly to derive each thickness.
A flat plate experiences a flow with a velocity profile of u/U = y^2/delta^2. Find the energy thickness and discuss its relevance in fluid systems.
💡 Hint: Approach the problem analytically while understanding how energy plays a role in fluid flow.
