The shear stress of the walls has two expressions, the first related to viscosity
of the fluid, and the second is the momentum integral equation:

Due to the no slip condition, the velocity of the fluid is zero at y = 0, while
at y = it should reach that of the free stream flow. In addition, the variation
of the velocity with respect to y should be zero to match free stream flow. All
of this translates to:
u(0) = 0
