Interactive Quizzes

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

Question 1

What is the no-slip condition?

  • Fluid velocity at the surface is zero
  • Fluid accelerates at the surface
  • Fluid has constant velocity everywhere

💡 Hint: Consider what happens at solid surfaces.

Question 2

True or False: The boundary layer only exists in turbulent flow.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Recall the flow types discussed.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a fluid with a kinematic viscosity of 0.002 m²/s flowing over a plate with a free stream velocity of 3 m/s. If the boundary layer transitions to turbulent flow, at what downstream distance from the leading edge does this transition occur?

💡 Hint: Remember to isolate x in your equation.

Question 2

How would the flow patterns differ if the same fluid had a much higher viscosity? Discuss the implications on the boundary layer.

💡 Hint: Think about the relationship of viscosity to flow stability.
