Question: A large stabilizing fin projects from the keel on the hull of an ocean liner, which is traveling at a speed of 3 0 knots.

A large stabilizing fin projects from the keel on the hull of an ocean liner, which is traveling at a speed of 30 knots. Assuming that the fin can be considered as a smooth flat plate, determine the following elements of the boundary layer at a distance of 3 m from the leading edge of the fin: (a) thickness \delta ' of the laminar sublayer, (b) velocity for y =\delta ',(c ) velocity for y/\delta =0.15,(d) the distance y for y/\delta =0.15 and the thickness \delta . Compare your results with those obtained for the airplane wing model.
