A boundary layer develops due to a two-dimensional steady flow over a horizontal flat plate. Consider a vertical line away from the leading edge which extends from the wall to the edge of the boundary layer. Which of the following quantity/quantities is/are not constant along the vertical line? 𝑢 and 𝑣 represent the components of velocity in the direction along the plate and normal to it, respectively and x is taken along the length of the plate while p is the pressure. Neglect body forces.
- A. 𝑢
- B. 𝜕𝑢 𝜕𝑥
- C. 𝑣
- D. 𝑝
Answer: A. 𝑢; B. 𝜕𝑢 𝜕𝑥; C. 𝑣
