A crude approximation for the x-component of velocity in a two-dimensional, incompressible boundary layer is a linear variation from u = 0 at the surface (where y = 0) to the free stream velocity, U, at the edge of the boundary layer (where y = ). The equation for the profile is where and c is a constant.

Show that the simplest expression for the y-component of velocity in the boundary layer is

Note: In reality, the x-component of velocity in a laminar boundary layer has a parabolic profile (see Fluid Mechanics 2 course).
