Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a fluid with a specific viscosity flowing over a plate, calculate the expected momentum thickness. Assume the boundary layer thickness is known.

💡 Hint: Pay close attention to the points where velocity changes.

Question 2

Explain how increasing the plate’s surface roughness might affect momentum thickness. Support your answer with reasoning.

💡 Hint: Think about how rough surfaces interact with flowing fluids.
