By using order of magnitude analysis, the continuity and Navier-Stokes equations can be simplified to the Prandtl boundary-layer equations. For steady, incompressible, and two-dimensional flow, neglecting gravity, the result is delta u/ delta x + delta v/ delta y= 0; u delta u/ delta x +v delta u/ delta y= -1/p(delta u/ delta x)+ v delta^2 u/ delta y^2 Use L and V0 as characteristic length and velocity, respectively. Non-dimensionalize these equations and identify the similarity parameters that result.

Answer: Attached below is the well written question and solution

answer:

i) Attached below

ii) similar parameter =
(V)/(VoL ) = 1 / Re

Step-by-step explanation:

Using ; L as characteristic length and Vo as reference velocity

i) Nondimensionalize the equations

ii) Identifying similarity parameters

the similar parameters are =
(V)/(VoL ) = 1 / Re

Attached below is the detailed solution
