Air at 15°C flows at 10 m/s over a flat plate of length 3 m. Using one-seventh power law of the turbulent flow, what is the ratio of local skin friction coefficient for the turbulent and laminar flow cases? (The kinematic viscosity of air is 1.470 × 10−5 m2/s.) (a) 4.25 (b) 5.72 (c) 6.31 (d ) 7.29 (e) 8.54
Air at 20°C flows at V = 80.0 m/s over a smooth flat plate of length L = 17.5 m. Plot the turbulent boundary layer profile in physical variables (u as a function of y) at x = L. Compare the profile generated by the one-seventh-power law, the log law, and Spalding’s law of the wall, assuming that the boundary layer is fully turbulent from the beginning of the plate.
IBL, Flat Plate. Apply the integral boundary layer analysis to a flat plate turbulent flow as follows. Assume the turbulent profile u/U = (y/δ)1/6 to compute the momentum flux term on the RHS of IBL, but on the LHS of IBL, use the empirical wall shear stress, adapted from pipe flow: ?w = 0.0233 ⍴U2 (v/Uδ)1/4 where the kinematic viscosity ν = μ/⍴. It is necessary to use this empirical wall shear relation because the turbulent power law velocity profile blows up at the wall and cannot be used to evaluate the wall shear stress. Compute (a) (δ/x) as a function of Rex; (b) total drag coefficient, CD, L as a function of ReL; (c) If ReL = 6 x 107 compare values for this IBL CD,L and those empirical ones given in Table 9.1 for both smooth plate and transitional at Rex = 5 x 105 cases. Note: You must show all the algebra in evaluating the IBL to get full credit. Ans OM: (a) (δ/x) ~ 10-1/(Rex)1/5; (b) CD,L ~ 10-2/(ReL)1/5; (c) CD,IBL ~ 10-3; CD,Smooth ~ 10-3; CD,Trans ~ 10-3

The momentum thicknessθ is often used as a length scale. Use the analysis of turbulentflat-plate flow to write local wall shear stress τw in terms ofdimensionless θ and compare with the formula recommendedby Schlichting: Cf ≈ 0.033 Reθ -0.268.arrow_forwardThe Blasius boundary layer profile is an exact solution of the boundary layer equations for flow over a flat plate. However, the results are somewhat cumbersome to use, since the data appear in tabular form (the solution is numerical). Thus, a simple sine wave approximation. is often used in place of the Blasius solution, namely, u(y) ≅ U sin (?/2 y/?) for y < ?, and u = U for y ≪ ?, where ? is the boundary layer thickness. Plot the Blasius profile and the sine wave approximation on the same plot, in nondimensional form (u/U versus y/?), and compare. Is the sine wave profile a reasonable approximation?arrow_forward
