Question:

Reconsider Fig. P4.17 in the following general way, It is known that the boundary layer thickness δ(x) increases monotonically and that there is no slip at the wall (y = 0). Further, u(x, y) merges smoothly with the outer stream flow, where u ≈ U = constant outside the layer. Use these facts to prove that
(a) the component υ(x, y) is positive everywhere within the layer,
(b) υ increases parabolically with y very near the wall, and
(c) υ is a maximum at y = δ.
