Briefly discuss how ideal flow differs from laminar flow

Reference no: EM131514886

Question: For steady flow: Briefly discuss

(a) how ideal flow differs from laminar flow, and

(b) how laminar flow differs from turbulent flow.

(c) On a sketch such as below, draw in a laminar boundary layer forming at the tip of the flat plate (upper side only). At some point downstream, show on the sketch how transition to a turbulent boundary layer occurs. Label where the laminar sublayer, the buffer layer, and the turbulent core should be on the diagram.

(d) Describe what would happen if we increased the approach velocity
