Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the mixed spectral method using generalized Laguerre functions for exterior problems of fourth order partial differential equations. A mixed spectral scheme is provided for the stream function form of the Navier-Stokes equations outside a disc. Numerical results demonstrate the spectral accuracy in space.

Key words: spectral method, exterior problems of fourth order, Navier-Stokes equations
