Question

From the laminar boundary layer the velocity distributions given below, find the momentum thickness θ, boundary layer thickness δ, wall shear stress τw, skin friction coefficient Cf , and displacement thickness δ*

1. A linear profile, u(x, y) = a + by 

2. von K ́arm ́an’s second-order, parabolic profile,u(x, y) = a + by + cy2

3. A third-order, cubic function,u(x, y) = a + by + cy2+ dy3

4. Pohlhausen’s fourth-order, quartic profile,u(x, y) = a + by + cy2+ dy3+ ey4

5. A sinusoidal profile,u = U sin (π/2*y/δ)
