When a fluid flows slowly past a vertical plate of height h and width b, pressure develops on the face of the plate. Assume that the pressure, p, at the midpoint of the plate is a function of plate height and width, the approach velocity V, and the fluid viscosity u and fluid density p. Make use of dimensional analysis to determine how the pressure, p will be formed with a dimensionless group. (Take b, V. p as repeating variables).
