Abstract
A numerical method is given for solving the system of laminar boundary layer equations; its main distinctive features are the use of the divergence form of the initial equations, and the method of finding the transverse velocity component from the equation of continuity. For this, the equation of continuity is differentiated with respect to the transverse coordinate, and the resulting second-order equation is computed. It is shown that the method works and is accurate, by solving some classical two-dimensional problems on the motion of an incompressible fluid (Blasius flow on a plate and Couette and Poiseuille flow in a flat channel).
