This problem arises when looking for similarity solutions for boundary layer flows with prescribed heat flux. To study solutions we use some direct approach as well as blowing-up coordinates to obtain a plane dynamical system.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2006-03-06T20:11:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "34B15", "34C11", "76D10" ], "keywords": [ "boundary layer flows", "prescribed heat flux", "similarity solutions", "third order nonlinear differential equation", "autonomous third order nonlinear differential" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1002/mma.578", "journal": "Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences", "year": 2005, "month": "Mar", "volume": 28, "number": 4, "pages": 479 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005MMAS...28..479B" } } }
