Consider an incompressible flow of a constant property fluid over a smooth, thin and wide flat plate. The free stream flows parallel to the surface of the plate along its length and its velocity is constant. Value of the Reynolds number at a distance of $2.0 \: m$ from the leading edge of the plate is $8000$. The flow within the boundary layer at a distance of $1.0 \: m$ from the leading edge of the plate is
- laminar
- turbulent
- transitioning from laminar to turbulent
- inviscid
