(c) Prandtl's student Blasius deduced that the velocity profiles in a flat plate boundary layer obey the similarity principle i.e. if rescaled accordingly, they should collapse to a single curve. Re-plot the profiles from part (b) in terms of the Blasius variables Image Removed Image Added in a different figure. Also plot the corresponding valuesfrom the Blasius solution in this figure.
How well does the FLUENT solution obey the similarity principle?
