A steady laminar boundary layer is formed over a flat plate as shown in the figure. The free stream velocity of the fluid is $${U_0}.$$ The velocity profile at the inlet $$a$$-$$b$$ is uniform, while that at a downstream location $$c$$-$$d$$ is
given by $$u = {U_0}\left[ {2\left( {{y \over \delta }} \right) - {{\left( {{y \over \delta }} \right)}^2}} \right]$$ GATE ME 2016 Set 1 Fluid Mechanics - Boundary Layer Question 7 English
