Abstract

A transformation is introduced which, for a class of outer pressure distributions, reduces the unsteady incompressible laminar boundary-layer equations in two dimensions to an equation in which the time does not appear explicitly. A formally exact solution of the resulting equation is then presented in the form of a series and it is shown that the solution can be expressed in terms of universal functions.
