In this paper laminar flow of incompressible viscous fluid has been considered. Here two numerical methods for solving boundary layer equation have been discussed; (i) Keller Box scheme, (ii) Shooting Method. In Shooting Method, the boundary value problem has been converted into an equivalent initial value problem. Finally the Runge-Kutta method is used to solve the initial value problem.

SummaryAn initial value method is introduced in this paper for the solution of the two-point non-linear ordinary differential equations resulting from an analysis of the MHD boundary-layer flow originally treated by Greenspan and Carrier. By using this method, the iteration process is eliminated. The method is seen to be applicable to the solution of similar two-point boundary value problems where certain physical parameters appear either in the differential equation or in the boundary conditions and solutions for a range of the parameter are sought.
