In this article, we propose a high order method for solving steady and unsteady two-dimensional laminar boundary-layer equations. This method is convergent of sixth-order of accuracy. It is shown that this method is unconditionally stable. The unsteady separated stagnation point flow, the Falkner–Skan equation and Blasius equation are considered as special cases of these equations. Numerical experiments are given to illustrate our method and its convergence.

Steady Laminar

The three-dimensional steady laminar-boundary-layer equations have been cast in the appropriate form for semisimilar solutions, and it is shown that in this form they have the same structure as the semisimilar form of the two-dimensional unsteady laminar-boundary-layer equations. This similarity suggests that there may be a new type of singularity in solutions to the three-dimensional equations: a singularity that is the counterpart of the Stewartson singularity in certain solutions to the unsteady boundary-layer equations.A family of simple three-dimensional laminar boundary-layer flows has been devised and numerical solutions for the development of these flows have been obtained in an effort to discover and investigate the new singularity. The numerical results do indeed indicate the existence of such a singularity. A study of the flow approaching the singularity indicates that the singularity is associated with the domain of influence of the flow for given initial (upstream) conditions as is prescribed by the Raetz influence principle.

The method of Lie group transformations is used to derive all group-invariant similarity solutions of the unsteady two-dimensional laminar boundary-layer equations. A new method of nonlinear superposition is then used to generate further similarity solutions from a group-invariant solution. Our results are shown to include all the existing solutions as special cases. A detailed analysis is given to several classes of solutions which are also solutions to the full Navier–Stokes equations and which exhibit flow separation.

Taylor's Formula

The equations of the unsteady, incompressible laminar boundary layer are considered in the case of two-dimensional flow and in the presence of a pressure gradient. The fundamental equations are cast into a more manageable form through the expansion of the unknown velocity by Taylor’s formula, in terms of a suitable variable. Consideration is also given to the truncation error. Several examples were carried out to show that even the first term in Taylor’s formula provides good accuracy in many circumstances.

Abstract This paper investigates a chemically reactive Magnetohydrodynamics fluid flow with heat and mass transfer over a permeable surface taking into consideration the buoyancy force, injection/suction, heat source/sink and thermal radiation. The governing momentum, energy and concentration balance equations are transformed into a set of ordinary differential equations by method of similarity transformation and solved numerically by Runge- Kutta method based on Shooting technique. The influence of various pertinent parameters on the velocity, temperature, concentration fields are discussed graphically. Comparison of this work with previously published works on special cases of the problem was carried out and the results are in excellent agreement. Results also show that the thermo physical parameters in the momentum boundary layer equations increase the skin friction coefficient but decrease the momentum boundary layer. Fluid suction/injection and Prandtl number increase the rate of heat transfer. The order of chemical reaction is quite significant and there is a faster rate of mass transfer when the reaction rate and Schmidt number are increased.

Weak Solvability

In this paper, we study the existence and uniqueness of weak solution for the system of finite difference schemes for coupled sine-Gordon equations. A novel first order of accuracy unconditionally stable difference scheme is considered. The variational method also known as the energy method is applied to prove unique weak solvability.We also present a new unified numerical method for the approximate solution of this problem by combining the difference scheme and the fixed point iteration. A test problem is considered, and results of numerical experiments are presented with error analysis to verify the accuracy of the proposed numerical method.

Nonclassical Symmetries

The nonclassical symmetries of boundary layer equations for two-dimensional and radial flows are considered. A number of exact solutions for problems under consideration were found in the literature, and here we find new similarity solution by implementing the SADE package for finding nonclassical symmetries.
