Question: 6 . 3 . In the laminar boundary layer on a flat plate, the velocity profile is assumed to be represented by: U U =

6.3. In the laminar boundary layer on a flat plate, the velocity profile is assumed to be represented by:
UU=a0+a1bar(y)+a2bar(y)2+a3bar(y)3,bar(y)=y
If a0(etc.) are constants, show that in order to satisfy the appropriate boundary conditions for a zero pressure gradient flow:
a0=0,a1=32,a2=0,a3=-12
Use the Momentum Integral Equation (MIE) to derive the law governing the rate of growth of boundary layer thickness, x=4.64Rex-12, and the skin friction law for the boundary layer, Cf=0.646Rex-12.(Tip: start from boundary conditions for the wall and the edge of the boundary layer)
