Question 1
Calculate the displacement thickness given that the flow velocity near a boundary layer at a certain point is 0.5 m/s, and the free stream velocity is 2 m/s. How does this affect the flow rate?
💡 Hint: Remember how displacement thickness changes effective area.
Question 2
Discuss the implications of increasing the Reynolds number on boundary layer thickness in a hydraulic system. What aspects should a hydraulic engineer consider?
💡 Hint: Think about how flow profiles change with speed and viscosity.
