An efficient numerical method for solving Falkner-Skan boundary layer flows
In this paper a novel computational technique for the solution of nonlinear third-order boundary value problems is presented. We demonstrate the application of the method by solving the famous FalknerSkan equation on a semi-infinite domain. Comparison with the results from other methods such as the homotopy analysis method and numerical methods demonstrates the accuracy, computational efficiency and robustness of this technique.
