چکیده
In the present paper, a solution for the boundary value problem over a semi-infinite interval has been obtained by transforming the two-dimensional laminar boundary equations into a nonlinear ordinary equation using similarity variables. Moreover, a collocation method is proposed to solve the Falkner-Skan equation. This method is based on rational Legendre functions and convert the Falkner-Skan equation to a system of nonlinear algebraic equations. The results are tabulated and compared with some other methods.
