A steady two-dimensional jet is generated in an infinite, incompressible fluid of density and kinematic viscosity by a point source of momentum with momentum flux in the direction per unit length located at the origin.
Using boundary layer theory, analyse the motion in the jet and show that the -component of the velocity is given by
where
Show that satisfies the differential equation
Write down the appropriate boundary conditions for this equation. [You need not solve the equation.]
