Consider the following statements about a turbulent boundary layer:

1. Its skin friction is higher than that of a laminar layer at the same Reynolds number.

2. It resists separation better than a laminar layer.

3. It grows more slowly along the surface than a laminar layer.

Which of the statements given above is or are correct?

  • A.1, 2 and 3
  • B.1 and 2 only
  • C.1 and 3 only
  • D.2 and 3 only

Answer: B

The first two are correct and between them define the standing trade. The third is reversed: a turbulent layer thickens roughly as distance to the four-fifths against the laminar half-power, so it grows considerably faster.
