Question 40
AENAT2 marksNeeds review
The thickness of a laminar boundary layer (
) over a flat plate is
, where
is measured from the leading edge along the length of the plate. The velocity profile within the boundary layer is idealized as varying linearly with
. For freestream velocity of 3 m/s and kinematic viscosity of
m²/s, the displacement thickness at 0.5 m from the leading edge is ______ mm (round off to two decimal places).Log in to check the answer
