u𝜕u𝜕x+v𝜕u𝜕y=ν𝜕2u𝜕y2u partial u over partial x end-fraction plus v partial u over partial y end-fraction equals nu partial squared u over partial y squared end-fraction Show via scaling analysis how the boundary layer thickness scales with the downstream distance and the Reynolds number Rexcap R e sub x Solution Step-by-Step Let scale with the characteristic plate length scale with the thin boundary layer thickness Step 2: Scale the Continuity Equation grows as the square root of the distance

The term under the square root, when multiplied by , indicates that if the perturbation wavenumber is real, the growth rate is positive if when multiplied by
