b) Under some flow and boundary conditions (e.g. low-turbulent-intensity free-stream) the transition to turbulence could significantly be delayed. Assume that the laminar flow starting from x = 0 and covers the whole length of the plate (i.e. no transition to turbulence occurs whithin the length of the plate).
