Pre-Analysis and Start-Up

For an external flow like this, one needs to determine where to place the outer boundary. A rectangular domain will be used for this simulation. The height of the rectangular domain will be determined by the expected boundary layer thickness. For a flat plate boundary layer, one can use the following approximation to find the boundary layer thickness.
