Summary: An approximate analytic solution to the Blasius equation is obtained by a parameter iteration method. The comparison with Howarth’s numerical solution shows that the accuracy of the proposed method is higher than other approximate methods. Further, the author provides a numerical iteration scheme which is simple, efficient and practical.
