A note on the boundary layer equations with linear slip boundary condition. (English) Zbl 1148.76019
Summary: We study the effect of replacing the standard no-slip boundary condition with a nonlinear Navier boundary condition for boundary layer equations. The resulting equations contain an arbitrary index parameter, denoted by $$n$$, and it is found that the case $$n=1$$ corresponding to linear Navier boundary condition must be excluded. In this article we remedy this situation and show that the case $$n=1$$ corresponds to a particular similarity solution, not included in the previous work by the authors.
