Evaluate the displacement thickness (delta^{*}) and the momentum thickness (theta) for a velocity profile given by (frac{u}{U}=sin
Question:
Evaluate the displacement thickness \(\delta^{*}\) and the momentum thickness \(\theta\) for a velocity profile given by \(\frac{u}{U}=\sin \left(\frac{\pi y}{2 \delta}\right)\). Plot the nondimensional velocity profile and show the thicknesses \(\frac{\delta^{*}}{y}\) and \(\frac{\theta}{y}\) on the plot. Does this expression satisfy the boundary conditions applicable to a laminar boundary layer?
