A linear velocity profile was used to model flow in a laminar incompressible boundary layer in Problem 5.10. Express the rotation of a fluid particle. Locate the maximum rate of rotation. Express the rate of angular deformation for a fluid particle. Locate the maximum rate of angular deformation. Express the rates of linear deformation for a fluid particle. Locate the maximum rates of linear deformation. Express the shear force per unit volume in the x direction. Locate the maximum shear force per unit volume; interpret this result.
5.10 A crude approximation for the x component of velocity in an incompressible laminar boundary layer is a linear variation from u = 0 at the surface (y = 0) to the freestream velocity, U, at the boundary-layer edge (y = δ). The equation for the profile is u = Uy/δ, where δ = cx1/2 and c is a constant. Show that the simplest expression for the y component of velocity is υ = uy/4x. Evaluate the maximum value of the ratio υ/U, at a location where x = 0:5 m and δ = 5 mm.

Any equation that comes out of the differential approach is valid at every point in the flow field. On the other hand, the integral approach gives us a point by point value and not an average value. True or False 2. During the analysis of fluid flow, we are more often interested in obtaining the average velocity, and one of the common ways of obtaining the average velocity is to take an average across the flow cross-section. This is called area-average velocity, average along the direction parallel to the principal direction of flow. True or False 3.

The maximum viscosity of the oil to exhibit a laminar flow behavior is 625 centipoise. True or Falsearrow_forward
