>From a pragmatic point of view, I really don't feel that the flow could
possibly be laminar in such a case. Surely there would be considerable
turbulence behind the leeward face of the plate. Also, don't forget the
Archimedes buoyancy force component acting vertically on the plate; after
all, force is a vector and is the sum of all its components.
