The Blasius equation related to boundary layer theory is a
third-order nonlinear ordinary differential equation
The Blasius equation is \(f\prime\prime\prime+\tfrac12 f f\prime\prime=0\). Its highest derivative is third order; the product makes it nonlinear; the single independent similarity variable makes it an ordinary differential equation.
