List of top Fluid Mechanics and Marine Hydrodynamics Questions on Boundary Layer Theory asked in GATE NM

Consider a steady, two-dimensional, laminar, incompressible flow of water over a horizontal flat plate of length \(L\) with Reynolds number, \(Re_L = 10^4\). The flat plate is aligned with the incoming free-stream flow. The \(x\)-axis is along the length of the plate while the \(y\)-axis is normal to the plate. The respective velocity components are \(u\) and \(v\).

Which of the following statements is/are TRUE?

Consider the flow of water over a smooth curved wall surface. It is given that the flow separates at some location R on the surface, known as the separation point.

Pick the CORRECT option(s).

Adverse pressure gradient implies that ______.
