How is the boundary layer thickness defined? (ue is the outer edge velocity)(a) u = 0.99ue(b) u = 0.89ue(c) u = 0.90ue(d) u = 0.50ueThis question was addressed to me in class test.Query is from Boundary Layer Properties in portion Boundary Layers, Laminar & Turbulent Boundary Layers, Navier Stokes Solutions of Aerodynamics

Answer»

Right choice is (a) U = 0.99ue

Best explanation: Inside the BOUNDARY layer, the velocity INCREASES along the y – direction until it becomes equal to the freestream velocity. The thickness of boundary layer δ is defined as the POINT from the surface where the velocity is 0.99 times the free stream velocity.
