Abstract: | An analysis of the possibility of finding similarity solutions to the three-dimensional, steady, incompressible, boundary layer equations in rectangular coordinates for a power law fluid is investigated. It is found that, in general, the two components of the mainstream flow must differ by at most a multiplicative constant and that these components are powers or exponentials of the x'-coordinate. By assuming small cross-flows, the cross flow component may be generalized and found to be representable by a polynomial in the through flow variable, x'. |
