Question 3

What usually happens to the boundary layer thickness as fluid moves farther downstream along a flat plate?

Question 4

Which physical effect is most directly responsible for the formation of a boundary layer?

Question 5

Inside a boundary layer, how does the fluid speed usually compare with the wall speed and the outer-flow speed?
