Abstract

The problem of the boundary layer flow of an incompressible viscous fluid over a non-linear stretching sheet is considered. A spectral collocation method is performed in order to find an analytical solution of the governing nonlinear differential equations. The obtained results are finally compared through the illustrative graphs and tables with the exact solution and some well-known results obtained by other researchers. The comparison shows that the obtained results with the rational Chebyshev collocation method are more accurate.
