For 10 points, name this special type of flow proposed by Ludwig Prandtl to explain what happens near the edges of a fluid.
A special case of steady momentum conservation in this type of flow is given by the equation f-triple-prime plus half f, f-double-prime equals zero, where f is a scaled speed and primes are derivatives with respect to a similarity variable; that's the Blasius equation. In general, steady momentum conservation in this type of flow is given by setting the convective derivative of the velocity equal to the viscosity times the second spanwise partial derivative of the streamwise velocity; that equation is named for this type of flow. Posited as a way to use the Euler equations while getting around d'Alembert's paradox, this type of flow occurs near no-slip surfaces, at which the flow speed must vanish, so it is viscosity-dominated.
