Hey guys,
The streamlines just outside a boundary layer are pushed away from the wall by the displacement thickness \delta* and I understand that;
\delta*=\int^{\infty}_{0}(1-\frac{u}{U})dy
Now this is for flow over a plate with length x=4m. At x=0 is the leading edge and at x=4 \delta = \delta^{b}
Now been told to find the equation of the streamline i.e. y=y(x) that touches the boundary layer at x=4 (and y = \delta^{b} I guess).
I know I have to calculate the boundary layer displacement thickness...but I am unsure of how to do that and what I should do after that.
