Extension of Blasius Newtonian Boundary Layer to Blasius Non-Newtonian Boundary Layer

Blasius equation is very well known and it aries in many boundary layer problems of fluid dynamics. In this present article, the Blasius boundary layer is extended by transforming the stress strain term from Newtonian to non-Newtonian. The extension of Blasius boundary layer is discussed using some non-newtonian fluid models like, Power-law model, Sisko model and Prandtl model. The Generalised governing partial differential equations for Blasius boundary layer for all above three models are transformed into the non-linear ordinary differewntial equations using the one parameter deductive group theory technique. The obtained similarity solutions are then solved numerically. The graphical presentation is also explained for the same. It concludes that velocity increases more rapidly when fluid index is moving from shear thickninhg to shear thininhg fluid.MSC 2020 No.: 76A05, 76D10, 76M99

A comparison between MMAE and SCEM for solving singularly perturbed linear boundary layer problems

In this study, we propose an efficient method so-called Successive Complementary Expansion Method (SCEM), that is based on generalized asymptotic expansions, for approximating to the solutions of singularly perturbed two-point boundary value problems. In this easy-applicable method, in contrast to the well-known method the Method of Matched Asymptotic Expansions (MMAE), any matching process is not required to obtain uniformly valid approximations. The key point: A uniformly valid approximation is adopted first, and complementary functions are obtained imposing the corresponding boundary conditions. An illustrative and two numerical experiments are provided to show the implementation and numerical properties of the present method. Furthermore, MMAE results are also obtained in order to compare the numerical robustnesses of the methods.
