Question: Assuming that we know only two things about the turbulent boundary layer over a flat plate. They are the friction coefficient C f , x

Assuming that we know only two things about the turbulent boundary layer over a flat
plate. They are the friction coefficient Cf,x=0.059(Rex)15 and the following one-fifth-power
law approximation for the boundary layer profile shape:
uU=(y)15 for y,uU=1 for y>1. Using the definitions of the Karman
integral equations, determine the variation with respect to x of:
a) The displacement thickness.
b) The momentum thickness.
c) The boundary layer thickness.
