Question:

You are asked by your college crew to estimate the skin friction drag on their eight-seat racing shell. The hull of the shell may be approximated as half a circular cylinder with \(457 \mathrm{~mm}\) diameter and \(7.32 \mathrm{~m}\) length. The speed of the shell through the water is \(6.71 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). Estimate the location of transition from laminar to turbulent flow in the boundary layer on the hull of the shell. Calculate the thickness of the turbulent boundary layer at the rear of the hull. Determine the total skin friction drag on the hull under the given conditions.
