Question: 6 . 2 . The boundary layer profile on a curved surface is found to be well described by: U U = 4 b a

6.2. The boundary layer profile on a curved surface is found to be well described by:
UU=4bar(y)-6bar(y)2+4bar(y)3-bar(y)4,bar(y)=y
by examining the form of the axial momentum equation at the wall (i.e. at y=0), determine whether this boundary layer is growing in an adverse or favourable pressure gradient. Define also the relationship between the skin friction coefficient Cf and the Reynolds number of the boundary layer Re5.(Answer: favourable, Cf=8Re; Tip: start from axial momentum equation).
