Blasius: A life in research and education
نویسنده
چکیده
The Blasius boundary layer solution is a basic feature of fluid mechanics, and the first application of Prandtl’s boundary layer concept as a significant issue in engineering. This work highlights the contributions of Blasius to hydrodynamics over a period of only six years, which marked the initiation of boundary layer theory. His main papers relating to aerodynamics and smooth turbulent pipe flow are also reviewed, and a biography puts his career into the general environment of Germany over the period of two World Wars. A complete bibliography of Blasius is provided.

This article is proposed to address the melting heat transfer of a Jeffrey fluid in Blasius and Sakiadis flow caused due to a moving surface. Thermal radiation and a constant free stream are considered in this mathematical model. The non-linear coupled dimensionless equations from the governing equations are attained by employing appropriate similarity transformations. The resulting dimensionle...
متن کاملNumerical quasilinearization scheme for the integral equation form of the Blasius equation
The method of quasilinearization is an effective tool to solve nonlinear equations when some conditions on the nonlinear term of the problem are satisfied. When the conditions hold, applying this technique gives two sequences of coupled linear equations and the solutions of these linear equations are quadratically convergent to the solution o...
