Solution:

Consider an incompressible fluid flowing over a flat plate with zero pressure gradient. The value of the laminar boundary layer thickness at Re = 1000 is 1 mm. When the velocity is increased 4 times, find the boundary layer thickness at the same location (in mm, Re = Reynolds number).

Solution:

Boundary layer formation occurs on a flat plate due to airflow (consider it viscous laminar flow). The plate's length is "L," and the boundary layer thickness at the end is "δL". What is the percentage change in boundary layer thickness at the end when the length of the plate is increased to "2*L"?
