A smooth flat plate of length ℓ = 4 m and width b = 2 m is placed in water with an upstream velocity of U = 0.1 m/s.
1) Is the flow laminar or turbulent?
2) Determine the boundary layer thickness at the center and the trailing edge of the plate.
3) Determine the wall shear stress at the center and the trailing edge of the plate.

In a lab experiment for a flat plate zero-pressure gradient boundary layer it is desired to find the friction coefficient (Cf) at location x=1 m from the leading edge of the plate. In order to do this, the momentum thickness of the boundary layer is measured at two locations 0.005m on either side of x=1m. the momentum thickness is measured to be 1.638 mm at x=0.995m and 1.652mm at x=1.005m, respectively, when the approach or free-stream velocity is 5m/s. a)...

Consider a vertical parallel-plate channel of indefinite length, with walls at different temperatures. The channel width is 2L and the wall temperatures are T1 and T2. It is assumed that T2 > T1. In this system, the heat fluxes in and out of the fluid will come into balance, yielding a thermally fully developed region with no streamwise temperature variations. With the temperature (and buoyancy) force independent of x, it is feasible to have fully developed flow. (a) Sketch the...
