Question 1

What is boundary layer thickness defined as?

  • The distance until velocity achieves 50% of free stream velocity.
  • The distance at which velocity reaches 99% of free stream velocity.
  • The distance from a plate at which turbulence begins.

💡 Hint: Consider what velocity percentage is critical in fluid flow studies.

Question 2

True or False: The laminar sublayer exists in the turbulent boundary layer.

  • True
