Accurate benchmark results of Blasius boundary layer problem using a leaping Taylors series that converges for all real values

Abstract: Blasius boundary layer solution is a Maclaurin series expansion of the function (f(\eta)), which has convergence problems when evaluating for higher values of (\eta) due to a singularity present at (\eta\approx-5.69). In this paper we are introducing an accurate solution to (f(\eta)) using Taylor's series expansions with progressively shifted centers of expansion(Leaping centers). Each series is solved as an IVP with the three initial values computed from solution of the previous series, so the gap between the centers of two consecutive expansions is selected from within the convergence disc of the first series. The last series is formed such that it is convergent for a reasonable high (\eta) value needed for implementing the boundary condition at infinity. The present methodology uses Newton-Raphson method to compute the value of the unknown initial condition viz. (f''(0)) in an iterative manner. Benchmark accurate results of different parameters of flat plate boundary layer with no slip and slip boundary conditions have been reported in this paper.
