What is a boundary layer?
Think about how fluids behave differently near surfaces.
Define shear stress.
Consider forces acting in a parallel direction.
What does the von Karman momentum integral method help to determine?
Think broadly about the application of the method.
True or False: The turbulent boundary layer grows faster than the laminar boundary layer.
Recall the growth rates for both types.
Provide a detailed analysis of a flat plate experiencing a high Reynolds number in turbulent flow, including how to adjust calculations for shear stress and drag. Include the derived local drag coefficient derived from these analyses.
Make use of the empirical correlations from the course material.
A new fluid dynamics problem involves flow over a non-smooth surface. Discuss how this would affect the calculations of the boundary layer thickness and shear stress. Derive a general form you could use with consistent observations.
Refer to the coefficients related to surface roughness you discussed in class.
