Question 1

Show and describe the development of boundary layer on one side of a flat plate
held parallel to the flow of fluid. How does the velocity distribution in laminar and
turbulent zones differ?

Question 2
Explain the characteristics of laminar and turbulent boundary layers.

Question 3
Explain what is Magnus Effect.

Question 4
A smooth thin plate 5m long and 1m wide is placed in an air stream moving at
3m/s with its length parallel with the flow. Analyse the drag force on each side of
the plate. The specific volume of the air is 0.8333m/kg and the kinematic viscosity
is 1.6 X 10^-5 m/s.

Question 5
A pipe bore diameter D and length L has fully developed laminar flow throughout
the entire length with a centerline velocity uo. If the drag coefficient is given as
CD=16/Re where Re=uoD/, show that the drag force on the inside of the pipe is
given as FD=8uoL and the pressure loss in the pipe due to skin friction is
pL=32uoL/D.
