Abstract

The boundary layer on a semi-infinite flat plate placed in a two-dimensional, unbounded, steady, constant shear flow of a viscous incompressible fluid is examined on the basis of the constant-pressure assumption. An asymptotic solution is obtained first for large vorticity numbers. Then an approximate solution is found for arbitrary vorticity numbers that gives good agreement with exact calculations for the extreme cases of small and large vorticity numbers. The present calculations are limited to the boundary layer on the top side of the plate only.
