Discuss the below problem:
Q: For flow past a cylinder of radius R as in Fig. the theoretical inviscid velocity distribution along the surface is U = 2Uosin(x/R), where Uo is the oncoming stream velocity and x is the arc length measured from the nose . Compute the laminar separation point xsep and θsep by Thwaites' method, and compare with the digital-computer solution xsep/R = 1.823 (θsep = 104.5°) given by R. M. Terrill in 1960.
