The laminar boundary layer thickness in zero pressure gradient flow over a flat plate along the x-direction varies as x0.5 while the thickness of turbulent boundary layer varies as (where, x = distance from the leading edge)-A-x1.5B-x0.8C-x 1.5D-x 0.8-B-x0.8

Question

APTITUDE CRACK · Accepted Answer

B x0.8 In zero pressure gradient flow over a flat plate, the thickness of the laminar boundary layer (&delta;) varies with the distance from the leading edge (x) according to the Blasius solution, which is approximately proportional to 0.5x0.5. However, for the turbulent boundary layer, the thickness (&delta;_t) varies differently. It is typically proportional to 0.8x0.8 in the outer region of the turbulent boundary layer. Therefore, the correct statement for the variation of the turbulent boundary layer thickness (&delta;_t) with respect to distance (x) from the leading edge is: &delta;_t &prop; 0.8x0.8
