Consider that the wind speed profile at the Earth's surface can be didactically represented as the flow profile of a fluid between two infinite parallel plates separated by a distance 2h, where the upper plate has velocity V0 and the pressure gradient between two points along the x axis is nonzero. You are then asked (a) to derive a expression for the velocity profile of this flow, assuming that the flow is laminar (1D) and permanent. Then determine (b) for what pressure gradient is the flow between the plates and zero. Tip: Take as the system origin the axis that passes through the middle of the parallel plates.Note: With as much detail as possible.Core book: Munson
