Question

5. For an assumed velocity distribution $U(x) = U_\infty(1 - x/L)$, make an approximate analysis of the flow in the boundary layer and compute: a) the local skin friction coefficient at $x/L = 0.5$ and $x/L = 0.1$. b) the location of the separation point, i.e., $(x/L)_{sep}$ Note: Treat $U_\infty$, L and $\nu$ as known parameters

Step 1

We need to find the local skin friction coefficient $C_f$. The formula for $C_f$ is given by: $C_f = \frac{\tau_w}{\frac{1}{2}\rho U_\infty^2}$ where $\tau_w$ is the wall shear stress. The wall shear stress is given by: $\tau_w = \mu \left(\frac{\partial Show more…
