An incompressible, steady, two-dimensional laminar boundary layer develops over a flat plate under zero pressure gradient. The velocity profile is self-similar and of the form u/U1 = a0 + a1 * (y/δ)^1.91 + a2 * (y/δ)^2.63, where u is the tangential velocity, U1 is the free-stream velocity, y is the wall-normal distance, and δ is the boundary layer thickness. By imposing the same boundary conditions as for a quadratic self-similar profile, evaluate a1.

The viscous boundary layer velocity profile shown in Fig. 2.15 can be approximated by a parabolic equation, \[u(y)=a+b\left(\frac{y}{\delta}\right)+c\left(\frac{y}{\delta}\right)^{2}\] The boundary condition is $u=U$ (the free stream velocity) at the boundary edge $\delta$ (where the viscous friction becomes zero). Find the values of $a, b,$ and $c$.
