6.6-3. Air is flowing on a flat plate with a zero attack angle. Sketch how
the boundary layer is developed on the plate, assuming that, at the
same distance,
from the leading edge, where the flow is reached
to be a turbulent flow from a laminar flow at
X
xURe
critical
, the
turbulent boundary layer has started to be developed onward.

u. . The length and
width of the plate is m4 and m2 respectively. Estimate the bound-
ary layer thickness at the end of the plate surface, and calculate the
total drag force acting on one side of the plate. Assume that the criti-
