Start by checking your Reynolds number (Re) at the end of the
plate, where it will be at a maximum. This will determine if your
boundary layer is simply laminar along the length of the plate or
if it becomes turbulent (the "mixed BL" condition). Once you know
the conditions of the flow, you can solve for the velocity BL
thickness directly with an equation from the list of external flow
correlations (posted). Your properties should be looked up at...
