The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the potential of Imperialist CompetitiveAlgorithm (ICA) for solving Blasius dierential equation. This algorithm is inspiredby competition mechanism among Imperialists and colonies and has demonstrated excellentcapabilities such as simplicity, accuracy, faster convergence and better global optimumachievement in contrast to other evolutionary algorithms...

A semi-Toeplitz preconditioner for the linearized Navier– Stokes equation for compressible flow is proposed and tested. The preconditioner is applied to the linear system of equations to be solved in each time step of an implicit method. The equations are solved with flat plate boundary conditions and are linearized around the Blasius solution. The grids are stretched in the normal direction to...

In this paper, a new numerical algorithm is introduced to solve the Blasius equation, which is a third-order nonlinear ordinary differential equation arising in the problem of two-dimensional steady state laminar viscous flow over a semi-infinite flat plate. The proposed approach is based on the first kind of Bessel functions collocation method. The first kind of Bessel function is an infinite ...
