Calculate the following for a boundary layer that stays laminar and for one that trips to turbulent at the leading edge: (a) boundary layer disturbance thickness, &, at x = 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0 m from the leading edge of the plate, (b) wall shear stress, Tw, at those x- locations, and (c) friction drag, FD,f, on one side of plate. (d) Calculate percent decrease in drag for laminar versus turbulent boundary layer.
