    This document provides instructions for a lab experiment on boundary layers. [1] The experiment aims to determine the speed distribution and boundary layer thickness of a flat plate subjected to longitudinal air flow over both smooth and rough surfaces. [2] The apparatus uses a wind channel, Pitot tube, and manometer to measure dynamic pressure values at different distances from the plate and generate speed distribution graphs. [3] Comparing the results for smooth and rough surfaces allows analysis of how surface finish impacts the boundary layer.

    1.0 Introduction and theory

    That portion of a fluid flow, near a solid surface, where shear stresses are significant and
    the inviscid-flow assumption may not be used. All solid surfaces interact with a viscous fluid
    flow because of the no-slip condition, a physical requirement that the fluid and solid have equal
    velocities at their interface. Thus a fluid flow is retarded by a fixed solid surface, and a finite,
    slow-moving boundary layer is formed. A requirement for the boundary layer to be thin is that
    the Reynolds number of the body be large, 103 or more. Under these conditions the flow outside
    the boundary layer is essentially inviscid and plays the role of a driving mechanism for the layer.

    2.0 Experimental Apparatus


    Using the HM 225.02 Boundary Layer Apparatus in combination with the HM 225 Air
    Flow Bench, boundary layers can be experimentally investigated. The experimental set-up is
    fitted to the nozzle using quick action fasteners. The plate to be investigated with a longitudinal
    flow is slid into the unit. The plate has two different surface finishes for performing experiments.
    A thin Pitot tube is used to measure the dynamic pressure in the boundary layer; the Pitot tube is
    moved towards the plate using a micrometer adjustment bolt..

    1 laboratory trolley, 2 switch box, 3 bench top, 4 manometer panel (not supplied), 5 flow straightener, 6 nozzle, 7 receptacle for the accessory
    modules with measuring glands, 8 thermometer, 9 regulator flap, 10 feed pipe, 11 outlet pipe with hood, 12 radial fan

    3.0 Experimental Procedure

    1. Determine the current air density by measuring the ambient temperature and air
    pressure.
    2. Push the plate to the position x=0 mm and secure it with the knurled screw.
    3. Read the reference level for ambient pressure from the manometer.
    4. Run the wind channel up to the desired speed (setting on precision regulator 7-
    8).
    5. Move the Pitot tube close up to the plate and read off the first measured value for
    pdyn. As a result of the tube diameter of 0.7 mm, this value corresponds to a
    height of y=0.35 mm.
    6. Recording additional measured values: To a height of 1.5 mm every 0.25 mm; up
    to 5 mma measured value every 1 mm is sufficient.
    7. Repeat the procedure for other positions (e.g. x=5 mm, 10, 20, 50, 100 mm).
