Returning to the conditions of Problem 5.34, where the boundary layer was assumed to be fully turbulent, let us now consider the real situation where the boundary layer starts out as laminar, and then makes a transition to turbulent somewhere downstream of the leading edge. Assume a transition Reynolds number of 500,000. For this case, calculate the percentage of drag that is due to flow separation (form drag).
