On the reversed flow solutions of the Falkner-Skan equation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2010
Abstract
The dependence of the skin friction on the parameter β for the reversed flow solutions found by Stewartson of the Falkner-Skan equation f′′′ + ff″ + β (1−f′2)=0 is determined in the limit as β→0−.
