For a steady two-dimensional incompressible boundary layer with tangential velocity u(x,y), normal velocity v(x,y), outer tangential velocity U(x), and kinematic viscosity ν,
uux​+vuy​=UdxdU​+νuyy​,ux​+vy​=0.
(1)
The pressure is uniform across the layer, and the outer Euler equation supplies −px​/ρ=UdU/dx.
