Similarity solutions
Above equations admit similarity solutions which can be found by introducing two stream-like-functions (x, y)
and(x, y) together with the following definitions
which after substituting into the boundary-layer equations and using the outer flow conditions yield
These equations are to be solved subject to
In order to look for solutions in the vicinity of zero streamwise pressure gradient we look for solutions of above
equations for -forms satisfying a Taylor-series This enables us to recover the outer flow conditions of the Blasius
solution upon setting ( = 0) = 0. We have found that for a wide range of d/d( = 0), d2/d2(
= 0) and higher order derivatives (for example d/d( =0)=
