xi is a constant of integration to help us remember (in our subsequent analysis) that the value of the integral is a constant, independent of X. Please factor the c out of the brackets in this equation (it hurts my eyes).

The next step is substitute this expression for dP/dX back into our equation for U(X,T) in post #16 to get our final result for U. What do you get?

I get the following: $$U(X,Y)=6c\left[\frac{1-\frac{\rho (X)}{\lambda}\int_0^{\lambda}{\frac{d\xi}{\rho(\xi)}}}{\frac{\rho (X)}{\lambda}\int_0^{\lambda}{\frac{d\xi}{\rho(\xi)}}}\right]\left(\frac{Y}{h}-\left(\frac{Y}{h}\right)^2\right)+c$$

As reckoned from the laboratory frame of reference, what does this give for u(t,x,y)?

we could use the continuity equation. But I don't know what to do with this

After getting the expression of V what to do with ##\rho (x,t)##
 
$${\it mambiguous} \left( V =~\left(-\frac{3\cdot c \cdot Y ^{2}}{h }+

Yikes! That's nothing like what I get. Here is my development:

$$U(X,Y)\rho(X)=6c\left[\frac{1-\frac{\rho (X)}{\lambda}\int_0^{\lambda}{\frac{d\xi}{\rho(\xi)}}}{\frac{1}{\lambda}\int_0^{\lambda}{\frac{d\xi}{\rho(\xi)}}}\right]\left(\frac{Y}{h}-\left(\frac{Y}{h}\right)^2\right)+c\rho(X)$$So,
$$\frac{\partial (\rho U)}{\partial X}=\left(1-6\frac{Y}{h}+6\left(\frac{Y}{h}\right)^2\right)c\frac{d\rho(X)}{dX}$$
So, $$\frac{\partial (\rho V)}{\partial Y}=-\left(1-6\frac{Y}{h}+6\left(\frac{Y}{h}\right)^2\right)c\frac{d\rho(X)}{dX}$$
So, $$V=\left(-\frac{Y}{h}+3\left(\frac{Y}{h}\right)^2-2\left(\frac{Y}{h}\right)^3\right)\frac{ch}{\rho(X)}\frac{d\rho(X)}{dX}$$

sir, Thank you very much for your help and patience. last doubt how to simplify the expression of u(x,t)? i.e. thread #35

Before doing anything else, I need you to prove to yourself that, if we make the following transformation of variables,

t = T
y = Y
x = X - ct
v = V(X,Y)
u = U(X,Y) - c
p = P(X)

our equations reduce to:
$$\rho=\rho(X)$$
$$\frac{\partial (\rho U)}{\partial X}+\frac{\partial (\rho V)}{\partial Y}=0\tag{1}$$
$$\frac{\partial P}{\partial X}=\mu \frac{\partial ^2U}{\partial Y^2}\tag{2}$$
subject to the boundary conditions ##U=c## and ##V=0## at ##Y=0,h##. These are equivalent to the equations that an observer who is traveling at a constant speed c in the negative x direction would write. This observer would conclude that, as reckoned from his frame of reference, the system is at steady state, with all parameters functions of X and Y only.
How could the system be in steady state when X=x+ct which is also related to time? If you have some time would you explain it?

Actually how you get continuity equation from this equation $$\frac{\partial \rho( U+c)}{\partial (X-ct)}+\frac{\partial (\rho V)}{\partial Y}=\frac{\partial \rho}{\partial T}$$

In post #11, I asked you to prove to yourself that, with the transformation of variables I indicated, the equations transform the way I say they do. In post #12, you indicated that you had successfully done this. Now you tell me that you had not done this (and don't know how to). How can I trust you?

after using Galilean transformation I got,
$$\frac{\partial (\rho U)}{\partial X}+\frac{\partial (\rho V)}{\partial Y}=\frac{\partial \rho}{\partial T}$$
now as## \rho## becomes the function of X. so $$\frac{\partial \rho}{\partial T}$$ must be zero. but when I show it to the teacher he told that X =x+ct so it is also a function of t, differentiation w.r.t. T may not be zero.
He asked me to show mathematical evidence. How it becomes a steady state?
Sir, I thought maybe my perception of the transformation of the equation is wrong, or my explanation. Is there something wrong with my explanation?

You have not carried out the transformation correctly. The starting equations are $$T=t$$$$X=x+ct$$and $$Y=y$$
For any function f of position and time, we start out by writing:$$df=\left(\frac{\partial f}{\partial T}\right)_{X,Y}dT+\left(\frac{\partial f}{\partial X}\right)_{T,Y}dX+\left(\frac{\partial f}{\partial Y}\right)_{T,X}dY$$From this, it follows that:
$$\left(\frac{\partial f}{\partial t}\right)_{x,y}=\left(\frac{\partial f}{\partial T}\right)_{X,Y}\left(\frac{\partial T}{\partial t}\right)_{x,y}+\left(\frac{\partial f}{\partial X}\right)_{T,Y}\left(\frac{\partial X}{\partial t}\right)_{x,y}+\left(\frac{\partial f}{\partial Y}\right)_{T,X}\left(\frac{\partial Y}{\partial t}\right)_{x,y}$$
But, in our problem, $$\left(\frac{\partial T}{\partial t}\right)_{x,y}=1$$$$\left(\frac{\partial X}{\partial t}\right)_{x,y}=c$$and $$\left(\frac{\partial Y}{\partial t}\right)_{x,y}=0$$
Therefore, $$\left(\frac{\partial f}{\partial t}\right)_{x,y}=\left(\frac{\partial f}{\partial T}\right)_{X,Y}+c\left(\frac{\partial f}{\partial X}\right)_{T,Y}$$

Now it's your turn. What do you get for $$\left(\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}\right)_{t,y}$$and$$\left(\frac{\partial f}{\partial y}\right)_{t,x}$$

Wrong. You wrote down the original continuity equation incorrectly. And ##\rho## is not a function of T.
 
Chestermiller said:

$$\frac{\partial (\rho U)}{\partial X}-c\frac{\partial (\rho)}{\partial X}+\frac{\partial (\rho V)}{\partial Y}=\frac{\partial \rho}{\partial T}+c\frac{\partial \rho}{\partial X}$$
so ##\rho## is not the function of T so
$$\frac{\partial (\rho)}{\partial T}=0$$
$$c\frac{\partial (\rho)}{\partial X}$$ should be canceled from both sides.

The correct statement of the continuity equation is:
$$\frac{\partial \rho}{\partial t}+\frac{\partial (\rho u)}{\partial x}+\frac{\partial (\rho v)}{\partial y}=0$$

That is the coordinate transformation we defined.

Or are you asking how I was able to recognize that this particular transformation of independent variables would bring about such great simplification in the analysis of the problem?

Yes, sir that would be very useful.
