- A boundary layer develops along the walls of a rectangular wind tunnel. The air is at 20°C and atmospheric pressure. The boundary layer starts upstream of the contraction and grows into the test section. By the time it reaches the test section, the boundary layer is fully turbulent. The boundary layer profile and its thickness are measured at both the beginning (x = x1) and the end (x = x2) of the bottom wall of the wind tunnel test section. The test section is 1.8 m long and 0.50 m wide (into the page in Fig). The following measurements are made: ?1 = 4.2 cm ?2 = 7.7 cm V = 10.0 m/s At both locations the boundary layer profile fits better to a one-eighth-power law approximation than to the standard one-seventh-power law approximation, u/U ≅(y/?)1/8 for y ≤ ? u/U ≅ 1 for y…arrow_forward1.

The pressure gauge shown in Figure 1 consists of a spring inside vacuum chamber. The chamber is isolated from the a environment by a piston, which is free to move up or down. Ambient pressure exerts a force on the piston, which compresses the spring. The piston has a diameter of 30 mm. At sea level, where ambient pressure is 1 atm, the spring is compressed by distance xo = 14 mm relative to its relaxed length. Suppose the pressure gauge is lowered into water at a lake. At depth D, the spring is compressed by distance x, = 34 mm relative to its relaxed length. Calculate D. Show and explain your work. Vacuum Figure 1arrow_forward
