What happens to the boundary layer thickness if fluid velocity increases?
Can you give me an example of how this knowledge has been applied in the real world?
Sure. One famous example is the design of the Shinkansen bullet train in Japan, which has a streamlined shape specifically designed to minimize air resistance and reduce drag caused by the boundary layer. This design allows the train to travel at speeds of up to 320 km/h (200 mph) without using excessive amounts of energy.
