Bernoulli's Equation
GATE 2017
Easy
The thickness of the laminar boundary layer over a flat plate, as distance from the leading edge increases,
- increases
- Bdecreases
- Cinitially increases and then decreases
- Dinitially decreases and then increases
Explanation
δ∝√x for a laminar boundary layer — thickness increases monotonically with distance from the leading edge.
