Question 1
Consider a rectangular plate in a fluid flow. Calculate the boundary layer thickness at a distance of 1 meter from the leading edge when the free stream velocity is 10 m/s and kinematic viscosity is 0.001 m²/s.
💡 Hint: Recall the relationship between viscosity, free stream velocity, and distance.
Question 2
A ship moving through water experiences different flow regions. If the Reynolds number for its hull reaches 6 x 10^5, discuss the transition from laminar to turbulent flow concerning the boundary layer and outer flow region.
💡 Hint: Consider the implications of Reynolds number in flow classification.
