NACHTSHEIM AND SWIGERT METHOD EXTENDED TO THE STUDY OF THE 2-DIMENSIONAL PLANE OR AXISYMMETRICAL, NONISOTHERMAL, LAMINAR BOUNDARY-LAYER WITH BLOWING

Nachtsheim and Swigert have developed a very efficient shooting method to solve the laminar boundary-layer equations of isothermal flows wit h similar velocty profiles. In this work, we present an extension of t his method for the solving of nonsimilar boundary-layer equations of t wo-dimensional or axisymmetric external flow, with or without gas blow ing and with or without pressure gradient. Variations of the two diffe rent fluid properties in a nonisothermal Row are taken into account. T he efficiency of the proposed method is verified for four examples of laminar flows. A sample of the results for velocity, temperature and g as concentration profiles, friction coefficient and heat transfer on t he wall surface, is compared with the results available in literature.
