Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What is displacement thickness?

  • The thickness of fluid in the boundary layer
  • The distance a streamline is displaced
  • The volume of fluid lost

💡 Hint: Consider what happens to a streamline due to viscous effects.

Question 2

True or False: Momentum Thickness is the same as Displacement Thickness.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Recall the definitions of both concepts.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

For a flat plate, given the velocity profile u/U = y^3/delta^3, derive the displacement thickness, momentum thickness, and energy thickness.

💡 Hint: Use integrals for each to find thickness values using given velocity profiles.

Question 2

Discuss the effects of a turbulent boundary layer on the three thicknesses compared to a laminar boundary layer.

💡 Hint: Contrast between flow nature in laminar versus turbulent conditions.
