| Introduction |
||
|
|
In the oral portion his Ph.D. general exam, John is struggling to recall how to obtain the boundary layer profile for flow past an infinite flat plate. The location where the boundary layer begins its transition to turbulent is also needed. Could you help him out? The free stream water speed is 10 m/s. |
|
| Questions |
||
Determine the location where the boundary layer begins its transition from laminar to turbulent. Plot the laminar boundary layer profile. |
