This paper uses symmetry methods to obtain nonequivalent similarity reductions of the steady two-dimensional thermal boundary layer equations of an incompressible laminar flow. New similarity reductions are uncovered and results obtained through the classical dimensional analysis are recovered.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
