We consider only steady two-dimensional incompressible viscous flow with the x-direction along the
wall and y normal to the wall, We neglect gravity. The complete equations of motion consist of
continuity and the x- & y-momentum relations:

Assumptions
● Steady and Incompressible 2D Flow
● Velocity at the surface of the wall is zero
● Acceleration due to gravity is ignored
● Flow over an infinitesimally thin flat plate
● Constant density( ρ ) and viscosity( μ )
Here, We are solving Continuity and Navier-Stokes equations using above all assumptions, like

∂t 0 (Steady Flow)

∂u ∂v ∂w
∂x + ∂y 0 (continuity equation after ∂z =0)
We get,

of U(x) = Constant. Hence the governing does not contain any pressure-gradient term.
