Some new uniform approximate analytical representations of the Blasius function.

Robin, William

Abstract

New uniform approximations of the Blasius velocity profile and Blasius function are developed from existing rational approximations of the Blasius velocity profile and of the Blasius function itself. Essentially, the existing rational approximations are rescaled (when necessary) and one of two methodologies [1, 11] is applied to the rescaled rational approximations to determine corresponding uniform approximations to the Blasius velocity profile and Blasius function. A brief discussion is presented on the merits of the results.
