Hydrodynamic Boundary Layer on a V-Shaped Body

Here the X-axis is directed along the wedge surface, A is a constant, and the exponent m and angle u are related by [427] 

The steady-state flow of a power-law fluid in a plane boundary layer near the surface of a V-shaped body is described elsewhere by the system of equations [445] 

Here the 7-axis is directed along the normal to the wedge surface (given by Y = 0), p is the fluid density, Vx and Vy are, respectively, longitudinal and transverse liquid velocity components, and U = U(X) is defined by Eq. (6.7.15). 

To complete the statement of the problem, Eqs. (6.7.16) must be supplemented by the no-slip boundary conditions for fluid adhering to the wedge surface 

In the special case m = 0, problem (6.7.16)-(6.7.18) transforms into problem (6.7,2)-(6.7.4) for a steady-state flow of a power-law fluid past a flat plate.
