3.4 Specification of a laminar boundary layer profile as an inflow condition is often
used in incompressible flow simulations. Let us consider the Blasius profile, which
is a similarity solution for the steady laminar boundary layer on a flat plate.

n =
√ux/Ux
Using the above and a streamfunction in the form = √xUf(n), show that
the governing equations can be reduced to
ff" +2f"" = 0
with boundary conditions of f(0) = f'(0) = 0 and lim, f(n) = 1. This
equation is referred to as the Blasius equation and its solution is known as the
Blasius profile.
