Hi all!
I am required to find the velocity distribution of the flow around an infinite plate that suddenly starts moving with a constant speed U_o. The solution has already been worked out, but I still do not understand all of it. The part that is perplexing to me is where they use the transformation variable to rewrite the terms (del u/del t) and (del^2 u/del y^2) with respect to eta.
Simple rearrangement of the terms in eta certainly does not yield the equation in (del u/del t), although this is true for (del^2 u/del y^2). I would think that there would be more of a consistency?
Please help! Thanks!
