A laboratory wind tunnel has a test section that is 305 mm2.

Boundary-layer velocity profles


are measured at two cross-sections and displacement thicknesses are evaluated from the
measured profles. At section 1 where the freestream speed is U1 = 26 m/s, the displacement

thickness is =1.5 mm . At section 2 located downstream from section 1, =2.1 mm .
Calculate momentum thickness at section 1 and section 2. Do you think the boundary
layer is laminar ? With comparing and at section 1 and 2, What do you think
about different values at section 1 and 2 ?? Assumed the main flow in atmospheric
conditions.
