description | Two-dimensional two-fluid classical and momentumless laminar far wakes are investigated in the boundary layer approximation. The velocity deficit satisfies a linear diffusion equation and the continuity equation in the upper and lower parts of the wakes. By using the multiplier method, conservation laws for the system of partial differential equations (PDEs) in the upper and lower parts of the wake are derived. Lie point symmetries associated with the conserved vectors for the classical and momentumless wakes are obtained. The conserved quantity for the two-fluid classical wake is the total drag on the obstacle, which is rederived. A new conserved quantity for the two-fluid momentumless wake is obtained, which satisfies the condition that the total drag on the obstacle is zero. Using the conserved quantities, it is shown that the equation of the interface is <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>y</mi><mo>=</mo><mi>k</mi><msup><mi>x</mi><mfrac><mn>1</mn><mn>2</mn></mfrac></msup></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>, where <i>k</i> is a constant and <i>x</i> and <i>y</i> are Cartesian coordinates with origin at the trailing edge of the obstacle.
