Assignment -Boundary Layer Theory

The assignment covers various topics related to boundary layer theory, including the definition and derivation of energy thickness, and expressions for displacement, momentum, and energy thickness based on a given velocity distribution. It also includes short notes on laminar sublayer, boundary layer separation, terminal velocity, and the Magnus effect. Additionally, it involves calculations for forces and power related to a flat plate in water and coefficients of lift and drag for a kite in flight.

BOUNDARY LAYER THEORY

Assignment

1. Define and derive the expression for Energy thickness.

2. Given the velocity distribution in a laminar boundary layer on a flat plate as:
𝑢 3 𝑦 1 𝑦 3
= ( )− ( )
𝑈 2 𝛿 2 𝛿
Obtain expression for the Displacement thickness, Momentum thickness & Energy
thickness.

3. Write short note on:

i. Laminar Sub Layer


ii. Boundary Layer separation & its control measures
iii. Terminal velocity of body
iv. Magnus effect

4. A flat plate 2 m long & 1.5 m wide is towed at 30 kmph in a water. The drag & Lift
coefficients are found to be 0.20 & 0.60 respectively. Calculate i) the resultant force
on the plate & ii) the power required to keep the plate in motion.

5. A kite has a plan form area of 0.25 m2 & is flying in a wind of velocity 25 kmph. The
kite has a net weight of 1.2 N. When the string is inclined at an angle of 15o to the
vertical, the tension in the string was found to be 3.0 N. evaluate the coefficients of lift
& drag. Take ρair = 1.115 kg/m3.
