Abstract

Laminar incompressible flow past a semi-infinite flat plate is examined by using the method of series truncation (or local similarity) on the full Navier-Stokes equations. The first and second truncations are calculated at points on the plate away from the leading edge, while only the first truncation is calculated at the leading edge. The solutions are compared with the results from other approximate methods.
