Hi all,
I am completely new to this forum, and am impressed with the amount of knowledge posted here! I am taking few heat transfer and fluid courses this term, and one of them involves deriving solution for the Blasius equation and the Pohlhausen equation in MATLAB. I am not very familiar with MATLAB and don't know how to go about doing so. Both solutions are going to be in tabular form. Blasius equation: 2f'''+ff''=0 with B.C. f'(0)=df/d(eta) @ eta=0 = 0, f(0)=0, and f'(inf)=df/d(eta) @ eta=inf = 1. Pohlhausen equation: Tstar''+0.5fTstar'Pr=0 with B.C. Tstar(0)=0 and Tstar(inf)=1 I am more concerned with the second equation. Can anyone guide me in how to implement this in MATLAB? I really appreciate all your help! Thanks, Abe |

Hello,
if you know how to implement Blasius, just apply the same procedure for Polhausen, use a Runge-Kutta method combined with shooting method to tune Tstar'(0)=T_tuned, where T_tuned must satisfy Tstar(inf)=1. Do |

That's the thing though. I don't know how to implement the Blasius equation in matlab. I have been reading about it ODE45 function in MATLAB and information on runge-kutta and shooting method, but still lost.
