Abstract:
This thesis is aimed to obtain approximate closed-form solution of non-linear partial differential equations representing the boundary layer flow on to a flat stretching surface in the
rotating fluid. The study of flow in a rotating fluid is considered because it has a large number
of applications. Many of the natural phenomena, when formulated mathematically, result in
such non-linear systems of partial differential equations whose exact solution is not easy to
find. In such situations, one looks for approximate solutions. In this thesis, we have used
the approach to first reduce the non-linear partial differential equations to ordinary differen tial equations by similarity variables. Then, obtain numerical solution of the reduced ordinary
differential equations. After this, the numerical solution is approximated by an appropriate
function. Finally, using the similarity transformations, approximate closed-form solution of the
original system of non-linear partial differential equations is obtained.
