MATLAB: What modifications do I need to make in the following codes for solving the boundary value problem similar to the Blasius equation using Shooting method with R-K 4 numerical analysis

blasius equationnumerical analysisrunge-kutta 4shooting methodsimilarity variable

The equation is (1+2M*eta)f'''+ 2Mf"+ f*f"- (f')^2- K1*f'= 0 ; f' is df/d(eta) 'eta' is a similarity variable
where M- is a curvature parameter, M = 1
k1- is another parameter, k1= 0.1
boundary conditions are: eta=0, f(0)=0, f'(0)=1, f'(inf)=0, inf= 10
The following is the code for Blasius equation

Best Answer

Use MATLAB's "bvp4c" instead of a code that you don't understand.
