Subtopic: Fluid Mechanics in SWCE

Question Statement:

The displacement thickness $\delta^*$ of a boundary layer on a flat plate is defined as:

Options:

  • (A) $\delta^* = \int_0^\delta \left(1 - \frac{u}{U_\infty}\right) dy$
  • (B) $\delta^* = \int_0^\delta \frac{u}{U_\infty} dy$
  • (C) $\delta^* = \int_0^\delta \frac{u}{U_\infty}\left(1 - \frac{u}{U_\infty}\right) dy$
  • (D) $\delta^* = \delta / 2$

Answer Key:

A

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

Displacement thickness represents the distance by which the external inviscid streamline is deflected outward due to boundary layer fluid retardation.
