Abstract

In this paper we propose, a collocation method for solving the Blasius equation. The Blasius equation is a third-order nonlinear ordinary differential equation. This approach is based on a rational scaled generalized Laguerre function collocation method. We also present the comparison of this work with some well-known results and show that the present solution is accurate.
