% This script animates the solution to the Balsius' model for a boundary % layer flow over a flat plate. This model assumes steady flow, constant % density and viscosity. First one must solve the Blasius differential % equation f'''+0.5*f*f''= 0 with f(0)=0, f'(0)=0 AND f'(infinity)=0 where % the prime denotes differentiation wuth respect to eta=y*(U*rho/mu)^.5. % This m-file was written at the University of Wyoming in the Electrical % and Computer Engineering Department and is to be distributed without % cost. clear all set(0,'DefaultAxesFontSize',12); set(0,'DefaultTextFontSize',12); eta=linspace(0,10,2001); deta=.005; z1=0; z2=0; z3=.33193;%input('The second derivative at eta = 0 is'); % Found by trial and error assuming various values until the final % condition was satisfied.
