The Blasius problem is one of the well-known problems in fluid mechanics in the study of boundary layers. It is described by a third-order ordinary differential equation derived from the Navier-Stokes equation by a similarity transformation. Crocco and Wang independently transformed this third-order problem further into a second-order differential equation. Classical series solutions and their Padé approximants have been computed. These solutions however require extensive algebraic manipulations and significant computational effort. In this paper, we present a computational approach using algorithmic differentiation to obtain these series solutions. Our work produces results superior to those reported previously. Additionally, using increased precision in our calculations, we have been able to extend the usefulness of the method beyond limits where previous methods have failed.

In this manuscript, we have analyzed Celebrated Blasius boundary problem with moving wall or high speed 2D laminar viscous flow over gasifying flat plate. To find the way out of this nonlinear differential equation, a version of semi-analytical homotopy perturbation method has been applied. It has been observed that the precision of the solution would be achieved with increasing approximations. On comparison with literature, our solution has been proven highly accurate and valid with faster rate of convergence. It has been revealed that the second order approximate solution of Blasius equation in terms of initial slope is obtained as 0.33315 reducing the error by 0.32%.
