Slip velocity.
Both the pressure and shearing stress are uniform throughout the flow. The shearing
stress is related to the velocity through the Newtonian constitutive relation.

Vorticity at the edge of the layer decays exponentially with distance from the
wall. This support the approach where we divide the flow into separate regions
of rotational and irrotational flow.

The problem with this profile is that it fails to capture one of the most
important features of the turbulent boundary layer profile which is
that the actual shape of the profile depends on Reynolds number.
A much better, though still impirical, relation is the law of the wake
developed by Don Coles at Caltech coupled with the universal law of
the wall. In this approach the velocity profile is normalized by the
wall friction velocity.
