Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Calculate the boundary layer thickness at 2 meters from the leading edge of a flat plate with a free stream velocity of 1.5 m/s and a kinematic viscosity of 1x10^-6 m²/s.

💡 Hint: Use the formula for boundary layer thickness.

Challenge 2 Hard

Discuss how different fluid viscosities would affect the development of the boundary layer over the same plate.

💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between viscosity and flow characteristics.
