Abstract
This paper presents а numerical solution of a non-similar two-dimensional boundary-layer flow over a cylinder. The assumptions and related two-dimensional flow equations are presented. The fourth-order Runge-Kutta method with the backward differentiation formula (BDF) method to separation point is implemented in the numerical solution using MATLAB software. Numerical solution results are compared with well-known analytic solutions. Shear stress diagram, friction ratio based on θ and x, and output results are illustrated. The results of numerical solution demonstrate good consistency with analytic solutions.
