The discussion revolves around determining the constant 'a' in a velocity function, with references to wall equations and the concept of "no slip" conditions in fluid dynamics.
Participants are actively engaging with the concepts, seeking clarification on the definitions and relationships involved. Some guidance has been offered regarding the "no slip" condition, but there is no explicit consensus on the connection to the constant 'a' or the velocity function.
There is a focus on understanding the implications of boundary conditions in fluid dynamics, particularly how they relate to the velocity function and the constant 'a'.
What does "no slip at the walls" mean?theBEAST said:Homework Statement
I am confused about how to get the constant a in this equation.
The Attempt at a Solution
Apparently you can get the constant a from the wall equations. However I don't see how the wall equations are related to the velocity function. The velocity function could have been ANY arbitrary function right? So how can it be related to something else?
