Summary
The behavior of incompressible laminar boundary layers in forced flow over a wedge with uniform suction or injection was theoretically investigated. The boundary layer equations along a wedge are transformed into non-similar partial differential ones, and the ordinary differential equations were obtained by means of the difference-differential method. The solutions of the resulting equations are expressed in a form of integral equations which are in turn solved by iterative numerical quadratures. The numerical results are given for the velocity distribution, temperature distribution and the coefficient of skin friction and heat transfer for various values of suction/injection parameter.
