Question 1
What is displacement thickness?
- The distance a streamline is pushed due to viscosity
- The total flow rate of a fluid
- The viscosity of fluid in the boundary layer
💡 Hint: Think about interactions between fluid and solid surfaces.
Question 2
True or False: The displacement thickness has no effect on fluid flow characteristics.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Consider why engineers care about this measurement.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Derive the displacement thickness formula given a complex velocity profile of a laminar boundary layer. Assume u/U to be a function of y and delta.
💡 Hint: Use an integral approach similar to what we discussed with simpler profiles.
Question 2
Evaluate how displacement thickness might change with varying fluid viscosity in an experiment.
💡 Hint: Relate this concept back to the definitions and effects of viscosity on flow.
