A flat plate is installed in a water tunnel as a splitter The plate is 0.3m long and 1m
wide. The freestream speed is 2 m/s Laminar boundary layer forms on both sides of the
plate. The boundary layer velocity profile is approximated by

Obtain an expression for δ. Determine the total viscous drag force on the plate
assuming the pressure drag is negligible (γ = 1 x 10 -6 m2/s)
Consider the steady flow of water past a
porous plate with a constant suction
velocity of 0.2 mm/s (i.e., V = - 0.2j mm/s).
A thin boundary layer grows over the flat
plate and the velocity profile at section cd is

where U∞ is the velocity of approach at


section ab and is equal to 3 m/s. Find the
mass flow rate across section bc. Given:
width of the plate = 1.5m, length = 2m, δcd
= 1.5 mm
Air at standard conditions is
flowing over a thin flat plate which
is 1 m long and 0.3 m wide. The
flow is uniform at the leading edge
of the plate. The velocity profile in
the boundary layer is assumed to
be linear and U = 30 m/s. Assume
that the flow conditions are
independent of z and treat the flow
as two dimensional. Using the
control volume abcd (dc = 1m),
compute the mass flow rate across
surface ab. The boundary layer
thickness at the end of the plate
(point c in the figure) is δ =
2.4mm. Determine the magnitude
and direction of the x-component
of the force required to hold the
plate stationary ( ρ air = 1.23
kg/m3).
Consider horizontal, steady, incompressible flow in a boundary layer with
uniformly distributed wall suction. The wall suction velocity is constant
with v = - vo at y = 0. There is no pressure gradient. Use a differential
control volume to express the axial gradient of momentum thickness
( dθ/dx) in terms of the wall shear stress ( τw), vo, freestream velocity (U)
and the density of the fluid (ρ).
