Review text

The Falkner-Skan equation, which is the similarity form of the boundary layer equations, has been solved through the use of pseudo-spectral methods for different values of the similarity parameter \(\beta\). The equation was then parametrically differentiated with respect to \(\beta\) and the resulting equation was solved with pseudo-spectral methods. A convergence criteria is established for each method. Comparisons are made between both approaches and the classical solutions.
