Numerical solution to the Falkner-Skan equation: a novel numerical approach through the new rational a-polynomials

doi:10.1007/s10483-021-2777-5

Abstract

Abstract: The new rational a-polynomials are used to solve the Falkner-Skan equation. These polynomials are equipped with an auxiliary parameter. The approximated solution to the Falkner-Skan equation is obtained by the new rational a-polynomials with unknown coefficients. To find the unknown coefficients and the auxiliary parameter contained in the polynomials, the collocation method with Chebyshev-Gauss points is used. The numerical examples show the efficiency of this method.

Key words: Falkner-Skan equation, rational Chebyshev polynomial, mapping parameter, collocation method, singular Sturm-Liouville problem
