An incompressible fluid flows over a flat plate with zero pressure gradient. The boundary layer thickness is 1 mm at a location where the Reynolds number is 1000. If the velocity of the fluid alone is increased by a factor of 4, then the boundary layer thickness at the same location, in mm will be
-
- 4
- 2
- 0.5
- 0.25
Correct Option: C
Boundary layer thickness, δ ∝ | √Re |
Re ∝ V ⇒ δ ∝ | √V |
