Abstract

A simple numerical method for the solution of the Falkner–Skan boundary layer flow is presented. A third-order ordinary differential equation is recast into two ordinary differential equations, one first order and the other second order. Finite difference approximations of both equations are sequentially solved iteratively with any arbitrary initial conditions. Numerical solutions were found to be in good agreement with published data over a wide range of wedge flows.
