A sharp flat plate of length L and infinite width is immersed parallel to a fluid stream having velocity π’β. At a point on the plate, far away from the leading edge and not near the trailing edge, the boundary layer thickness, the displacement thickness, and the momentum thickness are denoted as πΏ, πΏβ, and π, respectively. Which one of the following options correctly represents the relation between these thicknesses?
- A. πΏ> πΏβ> π
- B. πΏ> π> πΏβ
- C. πΏβ> πΏ> π
- D. π> πΏβ> πΏ
Answer: A. πΏ> πΏβ> π
