Use Thwaites-Walz Method to find Separation point of a flow
] The freestream velocity in a particular, decelerating, laminar boundary flow (adverse pressure gradient) is given by U∞(x) = 1 − x. This boundary layer eventually
separates, and the exact separation point is known (xsep,exact = 0.12). Use the Thwaites-Walz method to get an approximate separation point: what is the percentage
error?
