Blasius Solution

Blasius Solution:-

A) Blasius is the similarity solution which is used to solve Boundry layer equations by converting these equatio
the form of third order non-linear differential equation having one dependent and independent variables and
equation is as follows:

2 (^3 )/(^3 ) + (^2 )/(^2 ) = 0

B) To solve the above third order non-linear differential equation by using initial values, We have to change the
third order equation in to first order diffeerential equation. So, Let
g(n, (n), p(n), q(n))= /=p
z(n, (n), p(n), q(n))= /=q
By using above assumptions we can form a new differential equation as
b(n, (n), p(n), q(n))= /= 1/2 (n) q(n)]

B) Boundary conditions are:

a) at n = 0, (0) = 0
b) at n = 0, '(0) = 0,
p(0)=0
c) at n = , '() = 1,
p("" )=1
