Boundary Layer Similarity Parameters The boundary layer equations(velocity,mass, energy continuity)represent low speed,forced convection flow. Advection terms on the left side and diffusion terms on the right side of each equation, such as: Advection TT Diffusion W- Ox dy 0y2 Non-dimensionalize the equations by setting ond y where L is characteristic length of the surface and v-y where V is the freestream velocity (U) and T-T and P=p/pv2 T-TBoundary Layer Similarity Parameters • The boundary layer equations (velocity, mass, energy continuity) represent low speed, forced convection flow. • Advection terms on the left side and diffusion terms on the right side of each equation, such as: Advection Diffusion • Non-dimensionalize the equations by setting: * s * 2 and / T T -T and where V is the freestream velocity ( ) where L is characteristic length of the surface P p V T T U V v and v V u u L y and y L x x s                2 2 y T y T v x T u         
