Question:

Boundary-layer separation occurs when the shear stress at the surface becomes zero. Assume a polynomial representation for the laminar boundary layer of the form, \(u / U=a+b \lambda+c \lambda^{2}+d \lambda^{3}\), where \(\lambda=y / \delta\). Specify boundary conditions on the velocity profile at separation. Find appropriate constants, (a,b, c), and \(d\), for the separation profile. Calculate the shape factor \(H\) at separation. Plot the profile and compare with the parabolic approximate profile.
