Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A fluid with a kinematic viscosity of 0.001 m²/s flows over a flat plate at a free stream velocity of 1 m/s. Determine the Reynolds number when the distance from the leading edge is 0.2 m. What can you infer about the flow state?

💡 Hint: Apply the formula Re = Ux/ν.

Question 2

Discuss how the principles of the boundary layer theory can be applied in environmental contexts, such as pollutant dispersal in rivers.

💡 Hint: Think about the impact of flow regime on mixing efficiency.
