Abstract

A procedure is introduced to extend the usefulness of some perturbation solutions previously presented by Libby & Fox (1963) and Fox & Libby (1964). The perturbations are now formulated about a Blasius solution with an unknown origin. This origin, an additional degree of freedom, is selected, in the spirit of local similarity, so that it will yield a better approximation to the initial profile. With this modification the basic solution will handle a much wider class of problems successfully. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the improved accuracy and applicability of this new scheme.
