Question 42
AEMCQ2 marksNeeds review
Consider a flat plate, with a sharp leading edge, placed in a uniform flow of speed U. The direction of the free-stream flow is aligned with the plate. Assume that the flow is steady, incompressible and laminar. The thickness of the boundary layer at a fixed stream-wise location L from the leading edge of the plate is
. Which one of the following correct describes the variation of
with U?Your answerChoose one option.
