Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a flow situation where the Reynolds number is very low. What characteristics would you expect in the boundary layer, and how does this impact shear stress calculations?
💡 Hint: Focus on how the flow regime influences calculations.
Analyze a scenario where the boundary layer thickness is measured at a different percentage of free stream velocity. How would this affect your calculations regarding displacement and momentum thickness?
💡 Hint: Consider how changing reference points impacts analysis.
