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 exercise 2 in terms of the Blasius variables in a different figure. Also plot the corresponding values from the Blasius solution in this figure. How well does the FLUENT solution obey the similarity principle?
