For Air Assume: v=1.46×10 m²/s and p =1.225 kg/m³
Question A1
A flat plate with unit width is placed in a uniform steady two-dimensional flow of air with
negligible pressure gradient. The velocity distribution of the boundary layer forming on
either side of this plate has been given as:
U /Us = 2.0(y/ 8) - (y/8)2.0, where U = 10 m/s.
1- Find and expression for the boundary layer thickness as a function of Rex.
2- At x=1.0 m calculate the shear stress corresponding to the points y=0.0,3.0 and
10.0 mm.
3- Calculate the boundary layer displacement and momentum thicknesses at
x=1.0m. By using the calculated momentum thickness determine the drag force
acting on one side of the plate between its leading edge and x = 1.0m.
4- At x=1.0m, calculate the mass flow rate through the boundary layer (mkg/s per
unit width of the plate). What is the corresponding mass flow rate if the flow was
inviscid (m; kg/s per unit width of the plate)?
5- By using appropriate equation (s) explain how the difference between mand m
can be related to the boundary layer displacement.
