Question:

By using order of magnitude analysis, the continuity and Navier-Stokes equations can be simplified to the Prandtl boundarylayer equations. For steady, incompressible, and two-dimensional flow, neglecting gravity, the result is

\[\begin{aligned} & \frac{\partial u}{\partial x}+\frac{\partial v}{\partial y}=0 \\ & u \frac{\partial u}{\partial x}+v \frac{\partial u}{\partial y}=-\frac{1}{ho} \frac{\partial p}{\partial x}+v \frac{\partial^{2} u}{\partial y^{2}} \end{aligned}\]

Use \(L\) and \(V_{0}\) as characteristic length and velocity, respectively. Nondimensionalize these equations and identify the similarity parameters that result.
