Consider the boundary layer over a flat plate at 45° angle as shown. The exact flow field in this configuration is described by the Falkner-Skan similarity solution with n = 1/3 (see Figure 10.8 of the textbook, the Falkner-Skan profile chart). The objective is to find the approximate solution to this problem using the Thwaites method and calculate its error. Ve 11/4 Assume that for this approximate solution the free stream velocity is U₂(x) = ax" where a is an unknown constants and n = 1/3. Use the Thwaites method to find the momentum 0/x and 8*/x displacement thicknesses as well as the friction coefficient cf = 0.5, as functions of Re₂ = Uer/v, where is the shear stress at the wall. (No need to interpolate the Thwaites method table values; you can pick the nearest numbers.) Using the Falkner-Skan profile chart approximate the friction coefficient c; (by estimating the slope of the corresponding velocity profile at the wall). How does this value compare with your prediction in part…
Oil Coating: A long, continuous belt is pulled upwards through a chemical oil bath at velocity V0. The belt has rectangular cross-section and has length (L), width into the paper (W). The belt picks up a film of oil of thickness h, density ρ, and dynamic viscosity μ. Gravity g tends to make the oil drain down, but the movement of the belt keeps the fluid from running off completely. Assume fully developed, steady, laminar, incompressible and two-dimensional flow of oil to answer the following questions. Assume that no pressure gradient is needed in the vertical direction to drive the film flow. Also assume that the shear stress at the air-oil interface is zero (free shear condition). Assume no-slip condition for the fluid in contact with the moving belt. Justify any other assumptions you may make. Show all steps. (a) Derive an expression for the two-dimensional velocity field inside the oil film in terms of the known parameters. Clearly indicate your co-ordinates and origin. You must…
