Abstract: In this work, we apply the Modified Laplace
decomposition algorithm in finding a numerical solution of Blasius’
boundary layer equation for the flat plate in a uniform stream. The
series solution is found by first applying the Laplace transform to the
differential equation and then decomposing the nonlinear term by the
use of Adomian polynomials. The resulting series, which is exactly the
same as that obtained by Weyl 1942a, was expressed as a rational
function by the use of diagonal padé approximant.
