3. Pressure Flow, Flat Plates. Adverse pressure gradients in flow over bodies lead to flow reversal & separation, wakes, and increased drag. To examine such behavior, consider fully developed, laminar flow between two flat pates a distance 8 apart. The bottom plate is fixed, and the top plate moves with speed U (representing the outer flow over a boundary layer of thickness 8). (a) Derive the critical adverse pressure gradient, (dp/dx)*, above which there will be flow reversal, by solving the N-S equation in the coordinates shown, to get a relation for u(y), du/dy, and the critical (dp/dx)* in terms of 8, U, and u above which there μ will be flow reversal at the lower plate. (b) If 8 = 5 mm and U = 10 m/s, evaluate (dp/dx)* if the fluid is air.
