BOUNDARY LAYER THICKNESS AND FRICTIONAL DRAG ON A SUBMERGED CURVED PLATE

摘要

In this study, we have investigated boundary layer thickness and frictional drag on a submerged curved plate. The immersed curved plate provides both concave and convex surfaces on the opposite sides of the plate. The equations governing the problem are solved by a finite difference scheme. The results are analyzed using graphs. It is found that the boundary layer thickness for the convex surface is higher than that for the concave surface.
