The in viscid velocity along the wedge in Prob. 8.65 has the form U(x) = Cxm, where m = n − 1 and n is the exponent in Eq. (8.49). Show that, for any C and n, computation of the laminar boundary-layer by Thwaites’ method, Eqs. (7.53) and (7.54) leads to a unique value of the Thwaites parameter λ. Thus wedge flows are called similar [Ref. 15 of Chap. 8, p. 244].
