hey, quick question: for this system to work, would the the height at x=0 (h_0) have to be smaller than that at h_inifinty? i.e. the pressure generation is biggest at the start of the system?

I have actually solved this now :)

wait: b/c γ=tan^-1 (x/sqrt (2Rh_o)), and the limit of this as x --> negative infinity will = -pi/2, thefore p (-pi/2) = 0, which would allow for the solution for the unknown c in tbe eq. for pressure (?). then, using p(γ_c)=0 the final answer can then be constructed? this seems wrong and...

Hey, I'm stuck again! I'm really not sure where to start with this and I'm not ~quite~ sure where I'm meant to be working to :( Would really appreciate any help.

Yeah. Thanks, man. The answer fell out pretty easy when I stopped looking for a difficulty that wasn't there.

Basically, I'm modelling the flow of a "coating" process -- a fluid flow between a flat moving plane and a stationary cylinder, 2D, cartesian coordinates. Subscript 0 is the at the minimum height b/w the plane and the cylinder, and subscript c is at the point at which the flow leaves the moving...
