Question: 1 5 . 9 . A constant - density Newtonian fluid is flowing as a thin film down a vertical wall in laminar flow; see

15.9. A constant-density Newtonian fluid is flowing as a thin film down a vertical wall in laminar flow; see Fig. 15.9.Find the velocity distribution and the volumetric flow rate per unit width of wall by using the Navier-Stokes equations (z component) on the assumptions that there is no flow in thex or y direction, that the z component of the velocity is zero at the solid wall, and that there is no shear stress at the liquid-air surface, and the flow is steady-state. (Waves may appear on the fluid surface in this situation; ignore that possibility for this problem).
