1. Consider a real fluid (ν≠ 0 ) of constant density. Use the Navier-Stokes Equations to
show that
ddΓ JK KK KK K

dt dt ∫∫∫∫vvCA C
where C is a closed curveKK fixed in space K and A KKis any surface bounded by C.
K 1
Hint: Use the identity ()VV⋅∇=×+ω V∇⋅(2 VV ).
2. A real, constant density fluid flows over a thin flat plate placed in a free stream of
K
velocity VUi= ˆ, creating a boundary layer. Assume that the flow is steady. Consider a
rectangular curve fixed with respect to the plate and boundary layer as shown:

p0 h
p1 p2
U x
xpss, x1 x2
The point xs at the leading edge of the plate is a stagnation point where the stagnation
pressure is ps . The pressure at point x1 is p1 . Point x2 is assumed to be far enough
downstream in the boundary layer that p2 equals the free stream pressure p0 .

where Vuivj=+ˆˆ and ωζ= kˆ for two-dimensional flow.
Hint: Evaluate the Navier-Stokes equations at y = 0 on the plate to obtain a relationship
between the pressure gradient and velocity gradient.
