Summary

An improved reversed-flow formulation of the Galerkin-Kantorovich-Dorodnitsyn multi-moment integral method is presented in this paper. Convergence and accuracy properties of the approximate solutions of the Stewartson lower branch similar flows are given. The approximate solutions obtained with the new formulation for the lower branch similar flows are, in general, more accurate than those obtained with the classical Pohlhausen method or either of the previous formulations used with the GKD method.
