Keywords:
similarity solution; boundary layer problem; power series solution
Summary:
The boundary layer equations for the non-Newtonian power law fluid are examined under the classical conditions of uniform flow past a semi infinite flat plate. We investigate the behavior of the similarity solution and employing the Crocco-like transformation we establish the power series representation of the solution near the plate.
