3.1 Flat Plate: Implement both Thwaites' and Head's methods to numerically solve the boundary layer flow over a flat plate with zero pressure gradient and a Reynolds number based on length of the plate of 1106 . The first time use Thwaites' method, assuming the boundary layer is laminar throughout, and compare your results to the analytic Blasius solution. The second time use Head's method, assuming the boundary layer is turbulent throughout, and compare your results to the empirical Schlichting formulas. For all cases plot the following quantities along the plate: displacement thickness , momentum thickness , shape factor H, and local skin friction coefficient cf . Finally, integrate cf to compute a skin friction drag coefficient Cf . To reiterate, you should have four separate plots and each plot should have four curves. You should also have four values for Cf (Thwaites vs Blasisus, and Heads vs Schlichting)
