Q. The velocity profile in an incompressible, laminar boundary layer is shown in the figure below. U is the free-stream velocity, u(y) is the stream-wise velocity component. The area of the black shaded region in the figure below represents the
(A) boundary layer thickness.
(B) momentum thickness.
(C) displacement thickness.
(D) shape factor.
Ans: displacement thickness.
