A flat plate experiences laminar flow. Calculate the boundary layer thickness at various distances along the plate and determine if separation occurs at any point.
💡 Hint: Focus on transitions in Reynolds number calculations.
In a turbulent flow scenario, derive the expression for drag force based on a given turbulent velocity profile and analyze how changes in velocity affect drag.
💡 Hint: Use the turbulence profile as a basis for integration.
