Question A3
a) With the help of sketches briefly describe the main differences between laminar and
turbulent boundary layers in relation to friction drag and flow separation.
A tug boat is pulling a log raft (Figure QA3) on the surface of a lake at a constant speed of Uboat = 5m/s.
The log raft can be modelled as a flat plate (L=20m and W = 5.0m).
