A smooth flat plate is aligned parallel to a uniform stream of airflow. Given, the
air density, p = 1.20 kg/m³ and the air dynamic viscosity, µ= 1.80 x 10$ kg/m·s.
If the freestream velocity, V = 2 m/s,
i.
approximate the downstream distance where the thickness of laminar
boundary layer, &aminar in meter (m) would be maximum.
ii.
find the displacement thickness, &* in meter (m) at the downstream
location where the boundary layer flow changes from laminar to
transitional.
iii.
someone suggested that the velocity distribution in the laminar boundary
layer flow can be expressed as u/V = y/8, where, u is the velocity at a
distance, y from the plate, and 8 being the boundary layer thickness,
discuss whether the suggested expression is appropriate.
