The velocity profile for turbulent layer over a flat plate is
According to Blasius, the local skin friction coefficient in the boundary layer over a flat plate is given by
The thickness of laminar boundary layer at a distance 'x' from the leading edge over a flat plate varies as
The Von-karman momentum integral equation expressed as (where θ is momentum thickness)
Consider the following statements:
Boundary layer separation is caused by:
1. An adverse pressure gradient
2. Sudden entrapping of air
3. Reduction of pressure gradient to zero
4. Release of bubbles from the fluid when the pressure goes below the vapor pressure
Q. Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Air flows past a golf bail of 20 mm radius. It is observed that the boundary layer becomes turbulent at Reynolds number of 2 x 105. If the kinematic viscosity of air is 1.5 x 10-5 m2/sec then the speed of air when the flow becomes turbulent is
Blasius equation for a flat plate laminar boundary layer flow is a third order
