A novel method for the solution of Blasius equation in semi-infinite domains

Abstract

Many known methods fail in the attempt to get analytic solutions of Blasius-type equations. In this work, we apply the reproducing kernel method for ivestigating Blasius equations with two different boundary conditions in semi-infinite domains. Convergence analysis of the reproducing kernel method is given. The numerical approximations are presented and compared with some other techniques, Howarth's numerical solution and Runge-Kutta Fehlberg method.
