Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A flow has a uniform velocity of 10 m/s over a flat plate. If the boundary layer thickness at a certain part of the plate is 0.05m, calculate the displacement thickness if the velocity at the edge of the boundary layer is measured to be 9.5 m/s.

💡 Hint: Consider the boundary flow to find the effective thickness.

Question 2

A system has different Reynolds numbers at various sections of the plate—calculate the variation in displacement thickness across these sections and analyze how turbulence might affect fluid behavior.

💡 Hint: Relate the Reynolds number to the displacement thickness across the given plate.
