A simple perturbation approach to Blasius equation

In this paper, we couple the iteration method with the perturbation method to solve the well-known Blasius equation. The obtained approximate analytic solutions are valid for the whole solution domain. Comparison with Howarth's numerical solution reveals that the proposed method is of high accuracy, the first iteration step leads to 6.8% accuracy, and the second iteration step yields the 0.73% accuracy of initial slop.
