A nonsimilar moving-wall boundary-layer problem

The solution is obtained for the problem of a boundary layer on a moving wall, where the wall velocity is constant and the outer edge velocity is proportional to x, and for the counterpart problem, where the edge velocity is constant and the wall velocity is proportional to x. The constant-wall velocity problem has a solution which is identical to that given by Rott (1956) as the limiting steady case of a two-dimensional stagnation point on an oscillating wall. The constant-edge velocity solution provides a second numerical solution to a nonsimilar moving wall problem with which to test approximate methods of solving moving-wall boundary layer problems.
