An Asymptotic Solution to the Blasius Equation and Nonexistence of Periodic Orbits of the Blasius System
Javier-Antonio Trujillo, Ana-Magnolia Marin-Ramirez and Ruben-Dario Ortiz-Ortiz

Abstract: In this study, we find a Blasius solution using Neumann series for big values of the independent variable and we also prove that the Blasius dynamical system on the three dimensional space does not have periodic orbits by mean of an auxiliary function and Poincare’s method of tangential curves. Also, we use finite differences method to find a numerical solution of the Blasius equation, for this porpose we write a code in MATLAB which gives values of the solution, first and second derivatives and its respective plot on the plane.
