Drag Force on Plate Formula

Drag Force on Boundary Layer Flow Plate = 0.73*Breadth of Plate for Boundary Layer Flow*Viscosity of Fluid for Boundary Layer Flow*Freestream Velocity for Boundary Layer Flow*sqrt(Reynolds Number for Boundary Layer Flow)
FD = 0.73*b*μ*V∞*sqrt(Re)

What is Reynolds number in boundary layer flow?

The Reynolds number is the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces within a fluid that is subjected to relative internal movement due to different fluid velocities. A region where these forces change behavior is known as a boundary layer, such as the bounding surface in the interior of a pipe.

What are the two types of flow associated with the boundary layer?

There are two different types of boundary layer flow: laminar and turbulent. The laminar boundary is a very smooth flow, while the turbulent boundary layer contains swirls or "eddies." The laminar flow creates less skin friction drag than the turbulent flow but is less stable.
